TEXT INTERPRETATION ACTIVITY

THE TORROAT

THE TOAD WAS IN THE SUN, WHEN THE TOAD LEAPED PASSED BY.

– OH YOU TORRAEL, COME JUMP WITH ME!

– MY LEGS ARE VERY SHORT, THAT'S why I don't know how to jump.

AND HE CONTINUED LAYING SUNNING.

THE BUTTERFLY PASSED NEAR THE TORROAT AND SAID:

– OH YOU TORTOISE, COME FLY WITH ME!

– MY CARAPACE IS VERY HEAVY OWN BUTTERFLY, THAT'S why I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLY.

THE LITTLE BIRD PASSED SINGING AND ASKED THE TORTOISE WHICH WAS LAY.

– OH YOU JABUTI, COME SING WITH ME!

– MY MOUTH DOESN'T PITCH OUT, THAT'S why I CANNOT SING.

SUDDENLY, A BLACK CLOUD COVERED THE SUN. HEAVY DROPLETS BEGAN TO FALL. THEN, THE TORTOISE WENT DOWN INSIDE ITS CARAPACE AND SAID:

I DON'T KNOW TO JUMP, NOR FLY, OR EVEN SING, BUT I KNOW BETTER PROTECT MYSELF WHEN IT'S NECESSARY.
