The Lonely Landy
“Dear Landy. We don’t want to play with
you because your spikes are too sharp. We don’t want you to hurts us,” said
Cici the rabbit one day.
“Cici is right, Landy. It is not because
you’re bad or rude to us, no, Landy. Just because of your spikes. They will
stab us if we close to you,” said Tito the rooster.
Landy felt lonely. Landy spent most of the
time day dreaming at the river bank, “I would be happy if there were no spikes
on my body.”
Suddenly, Kuku the turtle appeared from
the river. He came to Landy and said, “Landy, what are you thinking of ?”
“Oh, nothing,” Landy replied.
“Don’t lie to me, Landy! Who knows I can
help you,” said Kuku wisely. Then he sat beside Landy. He wasn’t afraid of
Landy’s spikes.
Shortly, Landy told his problem. Kuku
nodded his head. He said, “Poor you. But it isn’t your fault. I know, your
spikes are very useful and helpful for you. They will realize it someday. Trust
me!”
“Thanks, Kuku. You are my best friend.”
One day, Koko the frog held his birthday
party. He invited all his friends, including Landy. But he decided not to come.
He didn’t want to mess up the party.
“I’ll come with you Landy. I’ll tell
everyone that you’re harmless,” said Kuku. Finally Landy attended the party.
Everyone enjoyed it.
Suddenly Tito screamed, “Help….help.…! The
evil wolf is coming. Save yourself!” Then, everyone saved their lives, except
Kuku and landy. Kuku pulled his head and his leg into his shell. And Landy
rolled his body into a ball.
Unintentionally, the evil wolf touched
Landy. Of course, the spike pricked him. He screamed, “Ouch!” Since his foot
was bleeding, he didn’t chase Landy’s friends any longer. Then, he ran away.
“Horray….horray….! Long live Landy! He
saved our lives,” said Cici and her friends. They thanked him from then on.
Landy wasn’t lonely anymore.
Moral value :
We should not underestimate
someone’s bad physical appearance.
