Cicada's Song
Little Cicada loved to sing.
But her song was always the same.
She wanted to learn a new song!
So she decided to visit Kingfisher
to learn to sing his song.
“Doo-oo-oo! Doo-oo-oo!”
sang Kingfisher.
But Little Cicada could not sing his song.
She then visited Mynah.
Maybe she could learn to sing Mynah's song.
“Keak! Kaek! Kaek!” sang Mynah.
But Cicada could not sing Mynah's song.
She then visited Cricket.
Cicada was determined
to learn a new song!
“Krik krik krik! Krik krik krik!”
sang Cricket.
But Cicada could not sing Cricket's song, either.
Then it started to rain.
The ducks sang,
“Quack! Quack! Quack!”
Frog came out and croaked,
“Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!”
All the animals came out.
And they all sang their songs.
“Doo-oo-oo! Doo-oo-oo!”
“Keak! Kaek! Kaek!”
“Krik krik krik! Krik krik krik!”
“Quack! Quack! Quack!”
“Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!”
Cicada listened to all the songs.
None of the other songs sounded like hers.
So she started to sing.
“Yaeng! Yaeng! Yaeng!”
All the animals sang together!
“Doo-oo-oo! Doo-oo-oo!”
“Keak! Kaek! Kaek!”
“Krik krik krik! Krik krik krik!”
“Quack! Quack! Quack!”
“Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!”
“Yaeng! Yaeng! Yaeng!”
Since then, Cicada has enjoyed her song.
Sometimes she even makes up new songs,
songs that only she can sing.
