The Bat’s Story

The Bat’s Story

There was a war in the animal world.
Two animals groups fought each other.
One animal group has wings.
The other animal group has four feet.
The bat did not join any group.

“I have wings,” said the bat.
“I can be with the bird group.
But I have teeth.
I can be with the animal group.

The bat thought and though.
Shall he go with the bird group?
Shall he go with the animal group?

“Ah! I know what to do.
I will go with the stronger group.
I will join whoever wins.”

So the bat watched the fight.
The birds ran after the animals.
The birds used their sharp claws.
The birds used their pointed beaks.
The animals ran away.

The bat went to the bird group.

“Hello friends,
That was a good fight.
We won over the animals.”

King Eagle looked at the bat.
“Who are you?
Are you with us?”

“Of course, I am!
I am a bird, too.
Look at my wings.
I belong to your group.”

“Welcome, bat!
Come and eat with us.
Let us celebrate.
We won over the animals.”
The birds were resting.
The animals came upon them.
The animals used their horns.
The animals used their paws.
The birds flew away.
The animals won over the birds.

The bat came out from hiding.

“Hello friends,
That was a good fight.
We won over the birds.”

King Lion looked at the bat.
Who are you?
Are you with us?”

“Of course, I am!
I am an animal, too.
Look at my teeth.
I belong to your group.”

Welcome, bat!
Come and eat with us.
Let us celebrate.
We won over the birds.”

And the fight went on.
Many birds died.
Many animals died.
The birds were tired of fighting.
The animals were tired of fighting.

King Lion and King Eagle talked.
The birds and the animals became friends.
They came together.
They ate together.
They celebrated their friendship.

The bat came out from hiding.
He was surprised.
The birds and animals were together!
King Lion looked at him.

King Eagle looked at him.
The animals looked at him.
The birds looked at him.

“Drive away the bat!” said the King Lion.
“Drive away the bat!” said the King Eagle.
“He has wings.

He has teeth.
He is not a bird.
He is not an animal.”

The birds drove the bat away.
The animals drove the bat away.
