Thank you. How about you? How about you very good? Let's do another song! You know this song, the.

So the more we read together, the happier we'll be alright, very good, good singing.

B

Today, we're gonna start with the first story and it's titled zomo the rabbit, a trickster tale from West Africa by Gerald McDermott.

B

So Moe zomo the rabbit. He is not big, he is not strong, but he is very clever.

B

Time was Zoma wanted more than cleverness, he wanted wisdom and he went to the sky God and asked for it so Moe. It is not so simple, said: sky God to get wisdom, you must earn it.

B

How asked zomo? Well, you must do three impossible things answered sky, God. First, bring me the scales of a big fish in the sea. Second, bring me the milk of a wild cow and third bring me. The tooth of a leopard hmm I will try, said zomo zomo went to the edge of the sea and he began to play his drum and he played so loud. His drumbeats went down to the bottom of the sea and deep below baked fish heard. The music of the drum.

B

Big fish came up out of the water and he danced on the sand faster and faster Zuma beat his drum faster and faster big fish, danced big fish dance. So fast, his scales fell off and big fish was naked.

B

Splash he jumped back into the scene quickly. Zomo scooped up the fish scales in his hat and hopped into the forest.

B

In the forest, zomo climbed a palm tree and he looked all around, then he saw wild cow ha laughed somos. You are not so big and you are not so scary.

B

hmm Who is that laughing at me said wild cow?

B

It is me called zomo. I say you are not even strong enough to knock down this little tree. Well, wild cow got angry and she ran at the tree to knock it down.

B

Sup she hit the tree, but the palm tree was soft and her horns got stuck quickly. Zomo slid down the tree, he turned his drum upside down and filled it with milk. By the time wild cow got unstuck. Zoma was far away.

B

Zomo took the path to the top of a hill. It was the hill where Leopard walked everyday zomo, tipped his hat and sprinkled a few fish skills on the path and then zomo tipped his drum and spilled. A few drops of milk on the path then zomo whence the bottom of the hill and he hid behind a rock.

B

Soon, leopard came walking over the hill and he slipped on the slippery skills and the milk. Oh no, and he rolled down the hill.

B

And bump leopard hit the rock his tooth popped out and up jumped zoom, oh and he caught the tooth quickly. He hopped away the zomo took the skills of big fish, the milk of wild cow and the tooth of leopard to sky God.

B

Sky got smiled upon zomo, you are clever enough to do the impossible. He said now. I will give you wisdom and sky God spoke and zomo listened. Three things in this world are worth having courage, good sense and caution, said sky God little rabbit, you have lots of courage, a bit of sense, but no caution. So next time you see big fish or wild cow or a leopard.

B

Better run fast.

B

So zomo is not big and zomo is not strong, but now zomo has wisdom and he is very, very fast.

B

The zomo the rabbit.

B

Story- and my last story will be why.

A

B

Just so you know, this is not a sob story, and this one is by Kate Kleiss.

B

When little rabbit was almost five summers old, he made a big decision. Now that I'm grown up I'm done with crying, he told mother rabbit crying is for babies and I'm, not a baby anymore. Well, I know you're, not said mother rabbit and she agreed to help little rabbit plant. His first grown-up birthday party I'm having a birthday party little rabbit, told his friend, the squirrel and I'm inviting everyone who's big like me and doesn't cry anymore, Oh said squirrel.

B

Sadly, then I guess I can't come. Why said rabbit, do you cry?

B

um Yes, said squirrel I cry when the others are playing a fun game and they don't.

A

Ask me to play: that's when I cry.

B

So Little Rabbit invited his friend the cat I'm having a birthday party and I'm, inviting all my friends who don't cry, but I do cry said the cat you do when why.

A

When I'm alone- and it's.

B

Dark and the shadows on the wall look like big mean Giants.

B

Finally, little rabbit visited his oldest dearest friend, the horse. I know you're too old to cry said little rabbit. So please come to my birthday party you're right, I am old, but you're wrong. If you think I never cry, you cry why.

A

I cry: when I see a snake and when I get stung.

B

By a bee and when I try a new hairstyle and I, don't like the way I look, that's when I cry little rabbit returned home. My first big birthday party will be very small.

B

Little rabbit, told mother rabbit, it's just you and me Why, ask mother rabbit, because everyone else still cries and I don't want crying at my first big birthday party, crying it's for babies, little rabbit I can't come to your party either said his mother. Why? He asked because sometimes I cry too said: mother rabbit little rabbit was very surprised.

B

Why do you cry well because I have feelings too sometimes I cry when I watch a sad movie or when I have a bad toothache, because you're getting so big, you don't cry nearly as much as you used to I. Look at you and I feel so proud and happy, and that can make me cry.

A

But you can't cry when you're happy, can you mm-hmm.

B

You can cry for any reason or for no reason at all little rabbit thought about this for a minute, hmm then he hopped into mother rabbits, lap and whispered in her ear. Even when I big I'll still be your little rabbit good, she said and either way, you're big. You still might need to cry once in a while. Really you won't mind if I cry, of course, not said his mother. Will you mind if I come to your birthday party? No, you must always come to my birthday.

B

Parties said little rabbit, and so they threw a big birthday party for little rabbit and all his friends and.

A

B

Cried well almost nobody little rabbit felt very grown up. Being five was wonderful, the end and that's. Why do you cry well? Thank you.

A
