MR. RABBIT Joyce Adongo, 8
Mr. Rabbit loved eating carrots but he would never share his carrots with anyone. Mr. Tortoise his neighbour, would ask him for some carrots, but he would lie and say he has none. One day, Mr. Rabbit finished all his carrots, but was still hungry. When he he went to the farm, he found all the vegetables had been stolen. He was shocked.
He went to Mr. Tortoise, but he was not home. He went to Mr. Toad, and asked him for some vegetables but he refused. This made him feel very sad, thinking that he would sleep hungry. He decided to ask Mr. Pig, who had only one cabbage. Seeing this, he walked away, thinking that Mr. Pig would refuse.
“Come back Mr Rabbit!” said Mr. Pig. “You can have half of my cabbage. It’s good to share.” Mr. Rabbit was grateful.
He ate and went home to rest. As he walked in, he saw that his things had been stolen! Mr. Dog saw Mr Rabbit crying on the street and asked him what’s wrong.
“Somebody stole all my things,” whimpered Mr Rabbit. “I think you should go see Mr. Tortoise,” said Mr. Dog.
Mr. Rabbit went to Mr. Tortoise’s house, and saw all the vegetables from the farm, and all the items from his own house. “Mr. Tortoise, why do you have all my things?” asked Mr. Rabbit. “To teach you a lesson,” said Mr. Tortoise.
Mr Rabbit felt ashamed. He promised to be nice to Mr. Tortoise, and to everyone else. They became friends.
Bwana Sungura alipenda kula karoti lakini kamwe hangemgawia yeyote karoti zake. Kila jirani yake, Bwana Kobe, alipomuomba karoti, angemdanganya kuwa hakuwa nazo. Siku moja, Bwana Sungura alimaliza karoti zake zote, lakini bado alikuwa njaa. Alipoenda shambani, alipata mboga zote zilikuwa zimeibiwa. Alipigwa na butwaa.
Akaenda kwa Bwana Kobe, lakini hakuwa nyumbani. Akaenda kwa Bwana Chura, akamuomba mboga lakini Chura akakataa. Jambo hili lilimfaya Bwana Sungura kujawa na huzuni akiwaza jinsi atakavyo lala njaa. Akaamua kumuuliza Bwana Nguruwealiyekuwa na kabeji moja tu. Kuona hivyo, Sungura akaanza kuenda, akidhania Bwana Nguruwe atamyima.
“Rudi hapa Bwana Sungura!” Nguruwe akasema. “Waeza kula nusu ya kabeji yangu. Ni vizuri kugawa”. Bwana Sungura alishukuru sana.
Alikula kisha akaenda nyumbani kupumzika. Alipokuwa akiingia, alipata vitu vyake vyote vilikuwa vimeibiwa! Bwana Mbwa alimuona Bwana Sungura akilia akamuuliza kilichokuwa kibaya.
“Kuna mtu ameiba vitu vyangu vyote’, Sungura akalia.
“Nadhani wafaa umuone Bwana Kobe”, Bwana Mbwa akasema.
Bwana Sungura alienda kwake Bwana Kobe akaona mboga zote zilizotoka shambani na vitu vyake vyote vya nyumba. “Bwana Kobe, mbona vitu vyangu vyote viko kwako?” akauliza Bwana Sungura. “Kukupea funzo,” akajibu Bwana Kobe.
Bwana Sungura akaona haya sana. Akamuahidi Bwana Kobe kuwa atakuwa mkarimu kwake na kwa wote wengine. Wakawa marafiki.
