Gecko lives on big trees in the forest, while pangolin lives in caves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">One day, the gecko called the pangolin and said, &#8220;Come and play on my big tree, it&#8217;s so cool there<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The pangolin happily agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The pangolin came to the bottom of the big tree, but it couldn&#8217;t climb up no matter what. The gecko said, &#8216;Let me pull you up.&#8217; 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\u2026 I tried several times but it didn&#8217;t work. The gecko was so tired that it was panting heavily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The pangolin suddenly said, &#8216;Hey, I have a solution!&#8217;! You make a roll, shake it, and I&#8217;ll go up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">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, &#8216;The scenery here is so beautiful!&#8217;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">At mealtime, the gecko served a plate of fried mosquitoes to the pangolin and said, &#8220;Brother pangolin, this is my favorite fried mosquito<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The pangolin looked at the mosquito meat but had no appetite. Helplessly, it said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t like to eat mosquitoes. My favorite food is termites<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The gecko said, &#8216;Wait on the tree for a moment, I&#8217;ll go to the market to buy some termites.&#8217;\u2026 With a swoosh, the gecko descended from the tree and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the pangolin staring blankly, thinking to itself, &#8220;You&#8217;re running too fast too<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">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, &#8216;What are you carrying? I&#8217;m hungry, give me some to eat!&#8217;! \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The gecko saw the lion&#8217;s big mouth and thought to himself, &#8216;The lion&#8217;s mouth is so big, I don&#8217;t have enough termites to fill his teeth!&#8217;! No, no, I have to find a way\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">So the gecko said, &#8220;This is a high-end gift for Brother Pangolin. You have to close your eyes to taste the deliciousness inside<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The lion said, &#8220;Okay!&#8221; The lion closed its eyes and opened its mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The gecko picked up a stone and put it in the lion&#8217;s mouth. The lion bit it and almost broke its teeth. It cried out in pain, &#8216;What is this thing? Why is it so hard?&#8217;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The gecko said, &#8216;This is what pangolins eat, of course it&#8217;s hard. The teeth of pangolins can bite rocks!&#8217;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The lion said, &#8216;I see, this thing doesn&#8217;t taste good. I won&#8217;t eat it anymore.&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gecko and pangolin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":303,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[21],"class_list":["post-301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-children","tag-children"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":304,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions\/304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyrecyclebin.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
