With another turn, the stone is pink.

Now what will it turn into?

It can carry you anywhere, east or west.

Now what will it turn into?

One more round and the stone is brown.

Will it continue to turn into something else?

A hedgehog.

What is the hedgehog waiting for?

To collect cherries on its spines as it is hungry.

Turn the stone over and…

17

…now it is green.

What could it be?

With the blink of an eye, it’s now a frog!

Croak, croak, it sings by day and by night.

What will it become next?

Now, it’s an orange little stone.

Will it keep changing?

Yes! Now it’s a mushroom, happily bathing in rain, no longer gloomy.

Just turn the stone over and…

25

…now it is black.

Can you predict about the next change?

See? It’s a clucking hen with cheeping babies.

They scratch and peck, seeking rice and worms.

Just turn the stone over and…

‌now the stone is white!

Any more changes to be expected?

Yes, penguins, penguins, belly white and feather black.

They are the birds who toddle in Antarctica.

Just turn the stone over and…

Look, look, the stone’s now blue!

What do you think it becomes next?
