Who ate my apple?
One day, a hungry mole who names Harry, walking in the jungle searching for food.
Suddenly Harry saw an apple on the tree. “Wow! The apple looks so delicious!”
A strong wind blow, the apple falls from the tree and drop into a hole!
Harry start to dig the ground for his apple. Harry dig and dig…finally it comes to the end
where the apple drop into the hole. But the apple goes missing! “Oh no! Where is my
apple?” Harry cried. Harry want his apple back. So, Harry started his mission. He go
and ask around whoever nearby.
He first saw a giraffe. “Is it you? Who ate my apple?” Harry asked.
Giraffe said: “Huh? Not me! I didn’t eat your apple! Please think carefully.”
“Even though my neck is very long, but if I want to take the apple from the hole, I have
to open my leg very wide. I couldn’t make it my dear.”
Then, Harry said sorry to giraffe and walk away.
Next, Harry saw a snake. “Is it you? Who ate my apple?” Harry asked.
“Sssss! No, not me! I didn’t eat your apple! Please think carefully.”
“My body is very long and I like to slither around. How can I move in such a small hole?”
Then, Harry said sorry to snake and walk away.
Harry walk and walk. He saw a crocodile. “Is it you? Who ate my apple?” Harry asked.
The crocodile answered: “Huh? Not me! I didn’t eat your apple! Please think carefully.”
“My mouth is big and wide, if I want to take the apple from the hole, I totally can’t open
my mouth.”
Then, Harry said sorry to crocodile and walk away.
Suddenly, Harry saw a worm. “Eii? Little worm, why do you have the scent of the apple?
Did you eat my apple?”
“No! I didn’t eat your apple! Of course I have the scent of the apple! I live inside it!” the
worm said.
“Oh! But why you come out from the apple? Where is the apple? What happen?” Harry
