The Jub Jub Tree

Once there were three animals living in a forest - Donkey, Rooster and Goat.

1

Rooster is busy and bossy.

2

Goat is old and wise.

3

Donkey is lazy, greedy and a bit silly.

4

The animals were hungry so they decided to plant a Jub Jub Tree as its fruit is juicy and sweet.

5

First they dug the soil.

Then they planted the seed.

They watered the plant every day.

6

The sun shone bright and hot, and the animals grew tired from working.

7

That night there was a storm with thunder and rain.

8

The Jub Jub Tree began to grow, but the fruit was not ready to eat.

9

Greedy Donkey crept out in the night and ate some leaves from the tree.

10

The next day, Rooster and Goat wanted to know who had eaten the leaves.

Donkey lied and said it wasn’t him.

11

The next night Rooster and Goat followed Donkey and caught him stealing the leaves.

12

The animals were sad because now they had to wait longer to eat the jub jub fruit.

13

Donkey said sorry and finally the fruit was ready.

14

The animals had a party and shared the fruit with everyone.
