forest and saw a beautiful place full of animals. After that he met

a sly, big and clever Squirrel. The sly Squirrel wanted to show his

kindness to his new friend. So then the Squirrel told the weak

Duck “Come and have tea to my house that is on the top of the

Jacaranda tree”. The small Duck went to climb the Squirrel’s tree,

but when he tried he couldn’t because he slipped. After a while he

realized that he couldn’t climb the tree and that he had fallen for

the Squirrel’s trick. He didn’t say anything he just stalked angry

to his lake because he couldn’t climb the tree and couldn’t eat.

The next day the Duck wanted to repay the Squirrel’s

kindness so he invited the Squirrel to his lake to have lunch. The

Squirrel went to the lake but when he tried to swim he couldn’t

because he didn’t know how to. As he couldn’t swim he felt very

furious without eating.

A long time ago in a dark forest there lived a Cheetah. The

Cheetah was fast, rude, unkind and not so clever. The Cheetah was

always showing off saying how fast he was. One day when the

Cheetah was going home he met a Turtle. The Turtle was slow,

clever, nice, kind and confident. The Cheetah scampered closer to

the Turtle and laughed “Where are you going slowcoach?” The

Turtle replied “I’m going home.” “Ha!” laughed the Cheetah “You

are never going to get there slowcoach!” The Turtle squeaked the

Cheetah “I am fast enough to win you in a race” The Cheetah

answered “Ok we will race tomorrow at 10:00 o’clock from the top

of the high hill to the deep lake.” The Turtle accepted.

The next day at 10:00 o’clock the Cheetah was already there

and the Turtle was late. When the race started the Cheetah ran

as fast as he could shouting “Bye slowcoach” The Turtle just

walked slow and steady. Then the Cheetah was tired and squeaked

“I will walk” Because he knew the Turtle was never going to reach

him. After a while the Turtle saw the Cheetah and went through

the green grass so the Cheetah didn´t see him. When the Turtle

got out of the grass he didn´t see the Cheetah so he went on.

When the Cheetah was about to cross the finish line, he saw the

Turtle drinking cold water from the lake. The Turtle won the race

and the Cheetah felt embarrassed, but learnt his lesson.
