Story Telling - A Big Pancake
Story Telling - A Big Pancake
and down the street. One of the children tried to catch the pancake.
He jumped and he missed the pancake. The pancake laughed and rolled
faster.
Stop, pancake! shouted the family. The mother ran after the
pancake, and her seven children after her. Her husband limped after
them all. They chased the pancake down the street, but it was too fast
for them. Soon it was out of sight. All the children cried loudly because
they had no breakfast yet. And the pancake just rolled fast.
After the pancake had rolled for a while, it met a man. Good day,
pancake! said the man. Wont you stop a while and let me eat you up?
Hello, old man! Goodbye, old man! shouted the pancake. It did
not stop to talk. Then, one after the other, the pancake met a hen, a
cockerel, a duck, and a goose. Each wanted to eat the pancake, but the
pancake just rolled right past them all.
Then the pancake met a horse. Good day, pancake, said the
horse. Hello, Horsey-Worsey! said the pancake.
Wait! Slow down! said the horse. Lets run along together. It is
not safe to travel alone. The pancake was a little afraid to go into the
forest, and so it agreed to go with the horse.
After running a while, the sly horse led the big pancake down a
bumpy rocky road. This is a short cut, said the horse. But the poor
pancake began to bounce and wobble as it hit the stones. Come sit on
my back and let me carry you, said the horse. The pancake agreed, and
the horse grabbed it with his teeth, and ate the pancake in one gulp!
And now my friend. The moral of the story is we should not trust
to the stranger. It will put us in harm and dangerous. And so, I would to
say thank you and remember friends! Stay away the strangers.
