Moussa And His Friends - Version 2
Story by Martina Martinović
Illustrated by Martina Martinović
-
This is Moussa with his parents. -
Moussa loves animals very much. -
He has lots of pets. -
One day, his parents went to visit grandma, and left Moussa alone. -
Moussa was bored, and tried to think of something to do. -
He thought: “I know! I’ll let all my pets out, and we can all play together.” -
When the parents returned home, the house was a mess. -
They said, “Moussa! What did you do?!” -
“The shelf is broken!” -
“The chair is broken!” -
“The milk is spilled!” -
Moussa said, “But it wasn’t me!” -
“It was the animals!” -
“The cat and the parrot… -
…are (the ones) who broke the shelf!” -
“The goat… -
…is (the one) who broke the chair!” -
“The snake… -
…is (the one) who spilled the milk!” -
The parents said, “And the one who’s going to repair it all… -
…is you!”
