Bedtime stories and rhymes

On a far away land called Kompu, there was a big jungle Jaku. In Jaku, the animals lived together happily.


Jaku is a beautiful forest, with tall trees full of ripe fruits. A small stream called Trickle flowed through Jaku. The animals ate fruit, drank water, roamed around, played and laughed all the time.
The lion, Len was the King of the forest and his wife Liz the Queen. They had two little cubs Leo and Leon and they are twins.

Leo and Leon are naughty little lion cubs, who loved to play with their friends Appu and Kuppu, two mischievous monkeys. Appu and Kuppu are twins too and carried Leo and Leon and jumped from tree to tree and made them laugh...


One day Appu, Kuppu, Leo and Leon jumped and walked through the trees and came near a pond. There they saw two little rabbits snowy white with red red eyes. They were eating red berries as red as their eyes.

Leo, Leon, Appu and Kuppu wanted to be friends with the two little rabbits. They called out,"Hi little rabbits... can we be friends?"
Rabbits shouted "Yes"... "My name is Chimpi and his name is Chilluki".. "Would you like to eat Berries? I have two and we can share and eat."
Appu and Kuppu climbed the tree and plucked 20 berries and Chimpi and Chilluki were so happy. Leo, Leon, Appu, Kuppu, Chimpi, Chilluki sat below the berry tree, watched the rainbow and ate the berries.
They played and played till them became tired. They fell asleep under the Berry tree.. Appu felt something jumping on his tummy. He opened his eye to see two little mice jumping up and down laughing. Appu did not feel angry but loved the way the mice laughed...
"Ahem!" he called out. The mice looked at him but they did not stop jumping. "Hey! aren't you afraid of me?"
They said, "NO"... "We saw you smile."
"Want to be friends?" said Appu.
"Why not?" said the two little mice, "I am Jerry" and "I am Merry".

Appu woke Kuppu, Leo, Leon, Chimpi and Chilluki and introduced them to Jerry and Merry.
Hey Kids! did you notice... there are 8 little animals in our story now and all are twins..
LEO and LEON - Lion cubs
APPU and KUPPU - two little monkeys
CHIMPI and CHILLUKI - Rabbits
JERRY and MERRY - two little mice
They went to the Trickle (the small stream) drank water and planned for a picnic. They shared their dreams.
Leo and Leon wanted to go far beyond the mountain called Mt. MAGIC. Their mom Liz told them stories about the Mt. Magic. Where the trees were full of chocolates and the waterfall swith fresh cream.
Everyone listened to this and wanted to go to Mt. Magic. "But how? " said Kuppu. It will take at least 10 days to climb the huge mountain and we do not know the way".
"Yes" agreed Chilluki, "My mom will search for me".
All of a sudden there was a huge noise and poor animals they were scared.
They hid near a huge tree and watched what was happening.
Two giant elephants came to Trickle and trumpeted and sprayed each other with water. They were having fun.
Our eight little friends saw this and slowly came out of their hiding place.
They went near the water and called out... "Hi Elephant brothers, can we be friends?"
The Elephants stopped playing and looked at our 8 little ones and said "Why not? We would love to be your friends.."
"I am Jumbo and he is Mumbo" said Jumbo. They all shook hands and started to play.
They played in the water, rode on Jumbo and Mumbo's back and as the Sun went down, halfheartedly set to go home.
As they started to walk and jump and slide all the way, they told Jumbo and Mumbo about their dream picnic. Jumbo and Mumbo promised to carry them on their back. They can leave early in the morning and come home by night.
Thrilled about their picnic, they decided to go to Mt. Magic the next day.
In the next part, we can join our friends and meet more interesting characters too...
Till then... See you guys!
