There was a Teddy bear named Dodag. One day, when he was coming back from his friend Joey’s house, he realized he was lost. He sat under a tree and began to cry hard.
“Why are you crying?” said a voice.
He looked up. There was a monkey! The monkey said, “My name is Noma. Why are you crying?”
Dodag told him that he was coming back from his friend Joey’s house and now he
is lost forever.
“Where do you live?” asked the monkey.
“I live in the Banana Town,” said Dodag. “Do you know where it is?”
“Yes,” said the monkey, “that way,” pointing to the left.
So Dodag went left and arrived in a desert. It was hot and thirsty. He saw a camel and asked, “What is your name and do you know where Banana Town is?”
The camel said, “My name is Liza. Yes, I know where it is. That way,” pointing to
the right, “but first take this water.”
He went right and arrived in Antarctica. It was freezing there. He saw a penguin! He asked about his name and Banana Town.
The penguin said, “My name is Lolced. Yes, I know about Banana Town, but first warm up here.” He gave him a blanket.
The teddy asked the way. The penguin pointed to the right.
He went right and arrived at a race. He saw a rabbit in charge. He asked the rabbit the same questions.
The rabbit said, “My name is Pikni. That way,” she said, pointing straight ahead.
He crossed a river, mountains, and forests. Finally, he arrived in Banana Town.
He needed to find his house, so he asked a turtle named Duklo. The turtle pointed left.
The teddy went left and crossed a lake and a mountain.
At last, he arrived at his house. His mum and dad were waiting. They were all happy and went to bed.
