Why Humming Bird Flies Very Fast and Never Stops
One sunny morning on the plantains of
West Africa, Humming Bird just woke up from sleeping in her nest. Humming Bird
liked to scare people. She scared people for as long as she could remember. “Another
day another scare.” She chuckled to herself as she did every morning. Then she slowly
flew off to start her day.
Everyday she always started off with
scaring Monkey. Humming Bird flew up into the tree while monkey was slowly
waking up. And she always screamed “BOO!”
Monkey was always so scared that the fell right on to the ground. Then she flew away slowly so Monkey could hear
her wicked sounding laugh. She did the same thing to Hippo all of the other
creatures of the forest.
One day
Monkey called a jungle meeting at the watering hole. “We need to do something
about Humming Bird. I always start my morning with a head-ache,” said Monkey.
“Yes,” added Lion “we do need to. I
always fall off my rock when I wake up.”
“But what can we do?” said Hippo who
was still covered in mud from when Humming Bird scared him so much that he jumped
into a mud puddle.
“I might have an idea.” Money said. The
group huddled around Monkey. Then Monkey told the group his big plan.
The next day rolled around. Humming
Bird woke up fresh and happy. “Another day another scare.” She said and then
slowly flew to Monkey’s home. “BOO!” she screamed. But there wasn't anyone
there. “That’s odd. I’ll go try Hippo’s house.” She flew to Hippo’s house. There
was no one there. She checked everyone’s
house and no one was there. “That’s
really odd. I’ll go to the watering hole. Then look for everyone after.”
Humming Bird slowly flew over to the
watering hole and right when she was going to take a sip of water. “BOO!” screamed Lion and Hippo who popped out
of a bush.
“BOO!” yelled Monkey and Kangaroo from
behind a tree.
“BOO!” shouted all of the forest animals
popping out of different bushes and trees.
“AHHHHH!!!!!!” screamed Humming Bird
as she flew up and away.
All of the jungle animals smiled and rejoiced.
“She’s finally gone!” ,exclaimed Hippo, “ thank you Monkey for this wonderful
idea! Hip Hip!”
“HORAY” all the animals shouted
happily. They were finally free of being scared by Humming Bird.
Meanwhile Humming Bird was flying as
fast as she could. She flew past the jungle, past a griot and some people
trading gold. She flew all around the
globe. Humming Bird never stopped flying because she was scared of being scared
again.
That’s why Humming bird flies really
fast and never stops.
