Lunchtime

The child is sitting at the table after being told to by their mother. Various forest animals, a crocodile, bear, and wolf, approach and ask to eat the child's lunch instead, saying that children taste bad but the lunch looks delicious. The child agrees and the animals eat all the food. They thank the child and say it was the best meal they've ever had. When the mother returns she is pleased to see the child's plate is clean. The child then plays for the rest of the day with a noisy stomach, and eats all of their dinner.

But Mum got cross and told me to sit at the table.
So I sat at the table.
I sat there for a long time.
“Are you going to eat that?”
asked the crocodile.
“Can I have some?” asked the bear
I said, “But I thought you liked
eating small children.”

“Oh no!” said the crocodile.

“Children taste disgusting.”


“Horrible!” said the wolf,
“We would much rather eat your lunch
It is delicious!” said the bear.
“Exquisite!” said the crocodile.

“Yum, yum!”
said the wolf.
Soon they had eaten it all up.

“Thank you very much,”


said the bear.

“It’s a shame you didn’t

want any,” said the crocodile.


“That was the best lunch

we’ve ever eaten,” said the wolf.


Then Mum came back and she was pleased.

“What a nice clean plate!” she said.


After that I played all afternoon.
But my tummy was VERY noisy.
Before long, it was dinnertime.
Mum said, “Eat up.”
And I did.

Every . . .

bit!
of food, friendship and fun
