Children's story Carnival costume of the animals
The Christmas holidays had already been far behind for the animals that lived in a forest beyond the mountains, the rivers and the sea. The arrival of the cold made them close themselves and shelter more at home.
A beautiful morning of clear skies, the animals woke up in a sudden, scared with the noise that came from outside their homes. A big truck, driven by a zebra, announced, the background sound of a lively music, a good news: within a week, it's carnival!
- Carnival?
- Carnival?
Looking out the windows, doors and sidewalks, everyone asked:
- carnival? ... what is carnival?
Even the fish that looked out on the edge of the lake and the bears that came out of their burrows se, put on questioning faces.The zebra parked the truck in a large clearing in the forest and started distributing
invitations to everyone. But the animals were left looking distrustful, without even taking a step. The zebra, angry, protested the lack of interest of the animals of that forest:
- Do not you know what the carnival is?
A squirrel quickly descended from his tree and replied: - No, we do not know what it is. Moreover, we have never heard this word.
Then the zebra asked everyone to come to explain what the Carnival was. Curious, the animals surrounded her and silently listened to what the zebra told them.
- Carnival is a celebration that takes place every
months of February
. We meet to sing, dance and have fun. They are four of daysof great joy in which we all insist on filling us with colors, brightness and illusion. The animals, with their mouths wide open, could not believe it. The carnival was all they could dream in these gray times, so cold, so lonely ... Then everyone started shouting: - We want to go, we want to go ... !!!!
The zebra asked for silence and told them it was not over yet.
- To participate in our carnival party, there is a condition: that whoever leaves will have to
disguise
. And before the animals asked them what it was like to disguise themselves, the zebra continued:- Disguising oneself means dressing as another character, another person, another animal. You can disguise yourself as a bear, a robot, a clown ... whatever you want.
The
animals
, encouraged, told them yes, that they would accept the condition. And the zebra, saying goodbye, warned them: - In 5 days I will go through here to pick them up. Goodbye!The animals set to work for the great event, although they did not know how to start.
The rabbit, very astute as always, began by saying that he was going to disguise himself as a turtle. It would make a large shell so that with its weight, it could walk more slowly. The tortoise, in turn, said that his costume would be a rabbit, that he would make some very, very big ears, to wear it at Carnival so he could run more and not get lost.
And so, every animal in the forest began to prepare for
Carnival
. The bear has disguised himself as a lion because his dream was to be brave; the lion disguised himself as a bear so that he could be more sweet and loving, and so with everyone.The big day had arrived and all the animals got up early to give them time to disguise themselves, to put on makeup and everything else.
As promised, the zebra returned to the forest to collect the animals for Carnival. Each animal that left his house, surprised the others and made them laugh a lot.
And that's what the animals did during the whole Carnival party. They took more than a
surprise
, they laughed a lot, and the best, they got together to dance, and share joyand warmth in such cold days. And red colored, this story is over ... Reading comprehension exercises
