Introduction

@,eadingisagoodwayofgettingknowledge.Itshouldbeintroducedrn early childhood, hence it becomes a habit in people's lifesryle. To enco:urage child-

ren to love reading, we provide interesting stories rn a fable series. \We believe that

antmal kingdom stories have their own attractiveness to amuse children with fantas-

tic stories. Thus, children are also encouraged to build their own fantasies, to open

their mind to knowledge and different views, and to have in their soul good moral

values that are always enriching every story.

Fl)t" morning peace was broken by a terrible cry.lt distwrbed all the

animals which had been gathered to look for food for their children. They

w-ere all busy looking for the source of the cry.Eachanimal tried to guess who

was crying."It must be the cry of. ababy mouse," Mr. Frog wbispered',,No. I am very familiar with my baby's cr/," Mrs. Mouse said.

"\Vait a minute. Isn't it miss Mosquito's cry?" Mr. Cat interrupted'

"Maybe. But its sound is very strange. I haven't heardit before," whispered

Mrs. Rabbit. She listened to the sound very seriously. Then she approached

Mr. Lizard who looked confused.

"Mr. Lizard, whose cry is it?" asked Mrs. Rabbit.

"\flhat are yov talking about?" shouted Mr. Lizard.

"Can you hear me?" asked Mrs. Rabbit again.

"\What? Louder, please. I cannot hear well. I've got a terrlble pain inside

my ears. I got an accident yesterday. Apaddy stalhpierced my ears," shouted

Mr. Lizard louder sdll.Hearing Mr. Lizard's loud voice, the cry stopped. Sud-

denly, all animals looked at Mr. Lizard. They approached

him and scolded him. On the contrar!, with an inno-' cent face,Mr. Lizard said

"Be cool, friends. Vhy '^r"

But none of the animals were laughing at his words'

,,you are allstrange, aren'tyou? \When I asked you what v/as going on'

Mr. Rat. He was laughing at Mr' Lizard'

"Of course,I am. Aren't I the fun-

a sense of humour," praisedMr. Lizard" But instead of shying with Mr. Lizard,Mr. Rat went away.

"\(/here are you going, my dear friend?" asked Mr. Lizard."I want to find out who made the terrible cry," answered Mr. Rat."\what? Louder, please," rEeatedMr.Lizard. Howeeer, Mr. Rat had gone.

Mr. Lizard followed wherever Mr. Rat went.After the situation calmed down again, the cry could be heard once more.

All of the animals listened to it more tboroughl,y. No animal dared to make amovement. None of them wanted to make a noise.

"My goodness! The cry comes from the other side of this lea[," whisperedMrs. Butterfly.

"Yes, you are right. Let's see," Mr. Dog agreed. All the animals came closerto the leaf. \Vith great care, Mr. Monkey turned the leaf around ro see whostayed there. Every animal was tense. Suddenly, they heard avery loud voice.

"\fhat animal is this?" shouted Mr.Lizard. The sudden loud voice sbockedall the animals. They ran quickly. No animal dared ro rurn around. They werescared. Now, there was only Mr. Lizard and the strange animal.

"Hi, are you a stranger? \What's your name? \flhat are yov doing here andwhere are you from? Do you do anything harmful,l' asked Mr. Lizard, in asurprising voice.

The animals's cry was getting louder. Now, Mr. Lizard heard the cry."tWhy are you crying. Am I hurting you? Poor, creature! You look so

weak. Don't cry.I will help you.\[hat's your problem? Tell me, but speak

loudly, please," remindedMr.Lizard. He comforted the creature.

"Mr. Lizard.I have a big problem," sobbed the creature.

"You know my nam e already! Indeed, every animal in this jungle knows

me very well. I amfamou.s, aren't I? By the way, who are you?" said Mr.Lizard

proudly.

"Don't you know that I am a little snail," said the creature.

"\flhat? Ha...ha...ha.... But you look so funny without your house. tWhere

is it? Ha...ha... ha.... yorare so silly," Mr.Lizard could not stoP laughing.

"That's my problem. I lost It! \Tithout my house,

my skin is easily-hurt. Besides, I am sb. I am proud

f *y house. I bring it wherever I go. \Without

house, no body can reco gnize me. lWhat willmy name be?" cried the little snail histerically.

"Come on. Don't be so sad and stop crying.

I will look for it. Just a minute," said Mr.Lizard confidently.

Mr.Lizard covered the little snail

"Finally, I can solve the snail's problem. How helpful I am. Only foolish

animals hate me, but I don't care.I am able to live by myself. Now, the snail

will be grateful to me. Of course, he will love me," said Mr. Lizard somewhat

a.rrogantty. Confidently, Mr. Lizard gave the snail his house. But, alas! It was

too small for the snail

"I know your problem now, little snail. You're

growing bigger and older. I think, the house

does not suit you anymore. It's too small. It's

impossible for me to make a new house for

you. You must build it by yourself. No one

else can help you either," said Mr.Lizard-"Thanks a loq Mr. Lizard. You've informed

me about my problem eventhough you cannot

solve it. \7e11, from now on, I will build *yown house," said the little snail happily.
