BONGO (4)

BONGO (4)

Poor Bongoーhe had never even seen a tree before, except through the window of the circus train.

"Well, " said the Bongo, " I guess that takes a little practice ! "

So he backed away again, and took another little run.
And plunk ! Down he fell.

Now the branches above him were filled with twitterings and chatterings.

The little woodland animals had all come out to meet Bongo.

" Hello, " said Bongo shyly.
" Let's be friends. "

So they taught him which were the most fragrant flowers to sniff.

They showed him how to peek at his refrection in a quiet pool.

" I 've never had so much fun, " Bongo told them happily.
" your forest is wonderful. "  

And as the sun dropped behind the trees, Bongo looked up at the velvet sky twinkling with stars, while all around him stretched the sleepy quiet of the woods.

" Yes, this is the life for me, " Bongo yawned contentedly, as he curled up for a good sleep.
