Gecko and pangolin are good friends. Gecko lives on big trees in the forest, while pangolin lives in caves.
One day, the gecko called the pangolin and said, “Come and play on my big tree, it’s so cool there
The pangolin happily agreed.
The pangolin came to the bottom of the big tree, but it couldn’t climb up no matter what. The gecko said, ‘Let me pull you up.’ So the gecko found a slender branch, and the pangolin bit it. The gecko pulled up hard, but before halfway up, the gecko had no strength left. The pangolin slid down again… I tried several times but it didn’t work. The gecko was so tired that it was panting heavily.
The pangolin suddenly said, ‘Hey, I have a solution!’! You make a roll, shake it, and I’ll go up.
So the gecko made a roller out of tree branches and a rope out of tree bark, and pulled the pangolin up. The pangolin came to the tree and exclaimed excitedly, ‘The scenery here is so beautiful!’!
At mealtime, the gecko served a plate of fried mosquitoes to the pangolin and said, “Brother pangolin, this is my favorite fried mosquito
The pangolin looked at the mosquito meat but had no appetite. Helplessly, it said, “I don’t like to eat mosquitoes. My favorite food is termites
The gecko said, ‘Wait on the tree for a moment, I’ll go to the market to buy some termites.’… With a swoosh, the gecko descended from the tree and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the pangolin staring blankly, thinking to itself, “You’re running too fast too
The gecko came to the market and bought a pound of termites. He carried them back and met a big lion on the way. The lion stopped the gecko and said, ‘What are you carrying? I’m hungry, give me some to eat!’! ”
The gecko saw the lion’s big mouth and thought to himself, ‘The lion’s mouth is so big, I don’t have enough termites to fill his teeth!’! No, no, I have to find a way….
So the gecko said, “This is a high-end gift for Brother Pangolin. You have to close your eyes to taste the deliciousness inside
The lion said, “Okay!” The lion closed its eyes and opened its mouth.
The gecko picked up a stone and put it in the lion’s mouth. The lion bit it and almost broke its teeth. It cried out in pain, ‘What is this thing? Why is it so hard?’!
The gecko said, ‘This is what pangolins eat, of course it’s hard. The teeth of pangolins can bite rocks!’!
The lion said, ‘I see, this thing doesn’t taste good. I won’t eat it anymore.’.
The gecko left the terrifying lion and returned to the forest, finding the pangolin waiting on the big tree. They spent a wonderful summer together.
