The Tentby Valeri GorbachevOne hot summer day, Turtle found a tent in the sand. “Cool!” he said. “Now I can escape from the hot sun,” and he crawled inside. “Hey, Mouse! Come and see the tent I found,” said Turtle. “It is a great place to escape from the hot sun!”“Thank you,” said Mouse, and he crawled into the tent. “Hey, Frog!” called Turtle and Mouse. “Come and see our tent. It is nice and shady in here. ”“Thanks,” said Frog as he crawled inside. “Hey, Rabbit!” they called. “Come into our tent and cool off!”“Thank you,” said Rabbit, crawling inside. “Hello, Elephant!” said Turtle, Mouse, Frog, and Rabbit. “We would ask you to join us inside our tent, but there is no more room. We are very sorry. ”“I am the one who is sorry,” said Elephant. “You see, this is not a tent. It is my hat. ”“Oh,” said Turtle. “We will look for shade somewhere else. ” “That’s OK, friends,” said Elephant. “We can share it!”
