Put the following chapters in order, so that we are able to understand the meaning of the story.
A)
At the beginning, when she is thinking about the yellow banana, a monkey swoops down and takes the banana. Then when she is thinking about the sweet smelling guava, an ostrich creeps through the long grass and takes the guava. Again, when she is thinking about the round juicy orange, a zebra creeps through the long grass and takes the orange.
B)
Finally, the moment she is thinking which fruit Akeyo will like best, a goat breaks free from a nearby post and rams into the trunk of a tangerine tree so the tangerines tumble from the tree and fills up Handa’s empty basket.
C)
As she continues walking, she remains thinking but this time about the ripe red mango, when an elephant creeps through the long grass and takes the mango. Once more, when she is thinking about the spiky leafed pineapple, a giraffe creeps through the long grass and takes the pineapple. After that, when she is thinking about the creamy green avocado, an antelope creeps through the long grass and takes the avocado but that’s not all because when she is thinking about the tangy purple passion fruit, a parrot creeps through the long grass and takes the passion fruit
D)
Handa puts seven delicious fruits in her basket for her friend Akeyo. As soon as she sets off with her basket on her head for Akeyo’s village, she is thinking how surprised Akeyo will be and which fruit she’ll like best.
F)
Gladly, Handa arrives to the village and waves to her friend Akeyo. When Akeyo observes the basket she is so happy to see tangerines inside because they are her favorite fruit, on the contrary Handa is very surprised to see that kind of fruit.
