Third Story: Dottie, the Beautiful
Miss Giraffine wrote on the board: “Beautiful means…”. Then she
looked at all the animals in the classroom without saying a word.
Whispers spread. Chirrups, caws, squeaks, hissings…
- Miss will you tell us the fairy tale of Beauty? Sprang the python.
- Be quiet please! Get out a piece of paper and a pencil. The animals
obeyed, while expressing complaints.
- This is a test! You need to write down what the word beautiful
means. You are grown animals now and you have a rich vocabulary. It’s
a piece of cake. So you can all have an ‘A’ my dear little animals. It is
easy, isn’t it?
- Yeeees! cried everyone in unison.
The pencils were on fire. Tails, beaks, snouts, paws and claws; they all
wrote nonstop. They would all have an ‘A’ for sure. What a nice
teacher…
Can you guess which animal wrote what about beauty?
