Little Heroes
On Sunday, Musal is watching TV. The speaker says that some people are needing
a help. They are in a jungle far from the city.
Musal rings his friends, Bill, Jane, and Daisy. He also calls uncle John, who has a
huge bus. All his friends and uncle John agree to go to the jungle to rescue the
people. The rescue team includes five members. The rescuers are very clever,
strong, fast, and cute.
They use a new bus. Uncle John adds more fuel. The children wear the rescuer’s
uniforms. They bring a lot of water, orange juice, coke, bread, rice, beaf, fish,
cakes, biscuits, apples, pears, grapes. They also do not forget to bring a drum and
some music.
After two hours, uncle John takes the rescuers to the jungle. They find out the
people who are very hungry, thirsty, and tired. Musal and his friends give them
water and food. They are very happy and thank the little heroes. Then, all of them
get on the bus and come back the city.
