2. One summer day, a young
man and his hyena went
for a walk in the jungle.
On his walk, the young man
lost a shoe in the mud.
3. A parrot saw the shoe.
"It's too hot. I'll cool off in
this shoe."
said the parrot.
So the little parrot slipped
inside.
And the shoe fits perfectly.
4. Soon a crocodile jumped by.
“It's so hot. Can I come in
and come back?
asked the crocodile.
"Yes, you can," said the
parrot.
So I moved to make room.
Then the crocodile slipped
into the shoe.
And the shoe stretched a
little.
5. Then a monkey scampered
by.
“It's so hot. Can I come in
and come back?
asked the monkey
"Yes, you can," said the
parrot and the crocodile.
So they slid to make room.
Then the monkey squirmed
in the shoe.
And the shoe stretched a
little more.
6. Shortly a leopard trotted by
“It's pretty hot. Can I come in
and come back?
myself?" asked the lion.
"Yes, you can," said the
parrot, the crocodile,
and the monkey
And they huddled together to
make room.
So the lion got into the shoe.
And the shoe stretched from
here to there.
7. After a while, a tiger passed by.
"It's very hot. Can I come in and
cool off?“ the tiger asked.
"Yes, you can," said the parrot,
the crocodile, the monkey and
the lion.
And they squeezed together to
make room.
Then the tiger got into the shoe.
And the shoe stretched once
more.
8. Then a zebra passed by.
"It's hot. Can I come in and
come back?"
the zebra asked.
"Yes, you can," said the
parrot, the crocodile,
the monkey, the lion and
the leopard.
9. And they squashed to make
room.
So the zebra got into the
shoe.
And the shoe stretched and
squeezed.
10. Soon a large hippopotamus
passed by.
"It's really hot. Can I come in
and warm up?"
myself?" asked the great bear.
"Yes, you can if you can find a
room," said the
parrot, crocodile, monkey, lion,
the leopard and the zebra.
11. So they huddled close together
and held their breath.
The big hippopotamus got into
the shoe.
And the shoe stretched almost
to bursting sew.
12. The young man was now
walking home.
His hyena ran ahead and saw
the shoe.
The hyena let out a laugh
"Haha”
The sound surprised and
frightened the seven animals.
They jumped out of the shoe
and fled.
13. The young man reached for
his hyena.
“Oh, you found my shoe. what
a good hyena
he said.
Then the young man picked
up his shoe.
And he thought to himself...
I wonder how it got so big.
