Mama Lola’s Tales

Once upon a time, there were two little sisters – Strawberry and Wildberry.

They lived on a sunny meadow and loved to dance more than anything in the world.

Every morning, as soon as the sun rose, the sisters would step onto the soft grass and begin to twirl, hop, and sing:

Sunshine, shine so bright!

Warm us with your light!

Make us red like little balls—

Sweet and full of vitamins for all!

And the sun would gently warm them with its golden rays. Because of this, Strawberry and Wildberry grew ever redder, juicier, and sweeter. Inside them, sweet juice would swell— rich with wholesome vitamins!

The sisters also loved to share their berries with children.

Whenever little ones came to play in the forest, Strawberry and Wildberry would cheerfully call out:

– Try us! We are sweet, good for you, and we are friends with the sunshine!

The children would eat the berries and grow healthy, cheerful, and full of energy.

Sometimes it would rain. But the sisters weren’t afraid – because after every shower, the sun would peek out again and make them bright and delicious once more!

And so, Strawberry and Wildberry still live to this day – dancing, singing, and sharing their vitamin-filled gifts with everyone who needs them.

In far, far away enchanted tropical jungles – where trees hum quiet little songs, and morning dew sparkles like tiny diamonds – lived a little monkey named Chichi.

Chichi was no ordinary monkey – she was pink, just like cotton candy!

In these jungles lived the most unusual little animals:

– Red elephants, with ears like poppy petals;

– Purple parrots, with golden crests;

– Yellow hedgehogs, covered in soft, sunny little spines;

– Blue froglets, with tummies round like balloons.

All the little animals respected and helped one another. They shared fruit, built little bridges over streams, and comforted each other if someone fell or felt sad.

But Chichi?

Chichi loved to tease and play tricks!

“Knock-knock!” – she tapped little Rosie the elephant on the head.

“You’re so clumsy, just like a coconut! Ha-ha-ha!

“Peep-peep-peep!” – she copied Percy the parrot.

“You sing just like a squeaky little chick. Hee-hee-hee!”

She threw leaves at Sunny the hedgehog.

“You’re prickly, just like an old cactus! Ha-ha-ha!”

At first, the animals laughed… But then they stopped.

When Chichi came near – everyone fell silent.

When she held out her paw – they turned away.

One day, Chichi hung upside-down from a vine and laughed:

“A-ha-ha! You’re all so serious!”

Suddenly – snap!– the vine broke!

Chichi fell right into a soft, bubbly swamp…

She climbed out… covered in shiny green slime, just like honey caramel.

But no one cameto her.

Not Rosie. Not Percy. Not Sunny.

Chichi sat down on a little stone… and tears rolled from her eyes…

Just then, little Pippin the blue froglet hopped over.

He said nothing.

He simply took a big fern leaf and gave it to Chichi.

“Wipe your face,” he whispered.

Chichi was surprised:

“But I teased you… I said you hop like a clumsy balloon…”

“Yes,” Pippin nodded. “But now you’re sad. And being sad all alone? That’s not fun at all.”

Then Rosie peeked out from behind a palm tree:

“Shall we build you a new vine swing?”

Percy peeked out too:

“I’ll sing you the quietest song – the one that helps when your heart feels prickly.”
