Introduction @,eadingisagoodwayofgettingknowledge.Itshouldbeintroduced rn early childhood, hence it becomes a habit in people's lifesryle. To enco:urage children 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.

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. Suddenly, all animals looked at Mr. Lizard. They approached him and scolded him. On the contrar!, with an inno' cent face,Mr. Lizard said '^r" "Be cool, friends. Vhy ,ou ^ngry with me? \flhy are you not nice to me anymore. Do I owe

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

"\(/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 a movement. None of them wanted to make a noise.

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

"Yes, you are right. Let's see," Mr. Dog agreed. All the animals came closer to the leaf. \Vith great care, Mr. Monkey turned the leaf around ro see who stayed there. Every animal was tense. Suddenly, they heard avery loud voice. "\fhat animal is this?" shouted Mr.Lizard. The sudden loud voice sbocked all the animals. They ran quickly. No animal dared ro rurn around. They were scared. Now, there was only Mr. Lizard and the strange animal.

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

tWhere "\flhat? Ha...ha...ha.... But you look so funny without your house. is it? Ha...ha... ha.... yorare so silly," Mr.Lizard could not stoP laughing.
