Rabbit goes to a party (Colour-in)
Mozambican folktale
Hélder de Paz Alexandre

Once upon a time, the animals decided to have a party. But it was not for all of them. It was only for the animals that had horns.

1

The rabbit was getting ready for the party. But then he found out that the party was not for everyone. It was just for animals with horns.

2

The rabbit went somewhere and got some horns. Then he put them on his head and went to the party.

3

During the party the rabbit ate and drank and danced.

4

This made him tired and he fell down in the sun. But while the rabbit was sleeping, the horns fell off!

5

Then all the animals discovered that the rabbit was not the kind of animal they wanted. So they pulled his ears till they got bigger and bigger.

6

Then they ran away. And that's the reason why rabbits have big ears!
