Introduction
early childhood,
eading is a good way of getting knowledge. It should be introduced in
hence it becomes a habit in people's lifestyle. To encourage children
to love reading, we provide interesting stories in a fable series. We believe that animal
kingdom stories have their own attractiveness to amuse children with fantastic stories.
Thus, children are also encouraged to build their own fantasies, to open their mind to
knowledge and different views, and to have in their soul good moral values that are
always enriching every story.
A long and hard dry seasonhappened in the jungle. The leaves were starting to fallfrom the trees. The soil looked so banm and cracked because of lacking water. Nogentle'wind blew. As a consequence, the atmosphere became very hot.

The bad situation troubled the animals and plants. The air was very hot outside.Most animals prefered to stay at home. They looked exhausted and thirsty. Mrs.Buffalo was weak because there was no water in the rivers. Everyday she played in therivers and wallowed inthe mud. Mrs. Swan, Mr. Duck and Mr. Scrab could not enjoythemselves in the water. They satbehind the rocks. Once, Mrs. Duckput outhq tongue.Mr. Bat went out of the cave he lived in. It was hot inside.
This unluclq time went on for many days. The inhabitants, however could notovercome the strength.of nature. They just accepted the conditions.
The saddest animal was Mr. Grasshopper since there were no leaves to eat. He sat
on the branch of a durian tree. He used his hands to cover his face from the sunshine

"My God. How hot this
day is. Where are myfriends? What are theydoing? How lonely I am- o.,* .r . J .l .r,i5iiwithout them," murmured
Mr. Grdsshopper.
"Who am I? I don't know. Neither do I know where I come from.-I have been with
you since you were born," explained the voice.
"Will you be my friend?" asked Mr. Grasshopper curiously.
"Of course, I will. In fact, I'11 even be your best friend. You can ask me about
goodness and badness."
" Wow! How lucl<y I am. Well my friend, may I give you a name?" asked Mr.
Grasshopper.
"With my pleasure," answered the voice.
"But what?" questioned Mr. Grasshopper.
"Whatever," answered the voice.
"I have an idea. You are a mystery voice, aren'tyou? And you come from inside my
body. What about: Mister Invoice? What do you think?" asked Mr. Grasshopper.
'All right. But remember, I know everything you are doing," reminded Mr. Invoice.
"Are you a genius or something?" replied Mr. Grasshopper.
"Not really.""Are you teasing me?" questioned Mr. Grasshopper.
"No, I am not. I just know everything about you.""We11, Mr. Invoice. What am I doing now? what am I thinking about?" examined
Mr. Grasshoper.
"You are sitting with your hands covering your face because of the sunlight. You
are wondering now. You want to ask me about stealing," guessed Mr. Invoice.
"Exacly! How do you know that?" wondered Mr. Grasshopper.
"f cannoi hear the singing birds, the bleating goat, the roaring tiger or the crowingcock. Are they dying?" questioned Mr. Grasshopper. He was wondering about his

"It's easy.'Because I am with you," answered Mr. Invoice."Can I meet you? And how?" asked Mr. Grasshopper.
. "You cannot meet me physically because I am shapeless, however, you can listento my voice. Don't use your ears. Just close your eyes. Take a deep breath and relax.Concentrate your thought and mind. In this way, you can communicate with me."
"By the way, what do you think about stealing?" asked Mr. Grasshopper.
"Stealing is taking what belongs to someone else without permission. It makesothers suffer. So, stealing is harmful. It's not good. Don't do it!" said Mr. Invoicesternly.
Mr. Grasshopper thought for a moment. He found truth in Mr. Invoice's words. Henodded.
"You stole Mr. Goat's leaves, didn't you?" reminded Mr. Invoice."Yes, I did," said Mr. Grasshopper regretfully."Will you bring them back to him?" asked Mr. Invoice."Yes, I will. I am so sorr5r," replied Mr. Grasshopper.
