V. Chutti's Tail
Chutti was a squirrel.
A tiny, happy squirrel.
Chutti liked to run and play.
She jumped over little stones.
She jumped on big stones
She stood on two legs
to look around.
She ran on four legs
over the ground.
Chutti liked to have fun!
One day,
Chutti turned her head.
She looked at her tail.
It was fluffy.
It was light.
But of what use was it?
Chutti went to Doctor Bear.
Doctor, can you give me a new tail?
This one is not good
Why Chutti?
It looks very good.
Does it hurt you?
Oh, these are nice!
I like that one, please.
That is a monkey's tail, Chutti.
You won't like it!
But I want it. It is long.
It can help me climb trees.
Please change my tail doctor.
Well, all right.
Chutti got a new tail.
It was long. It was curvy.
She loved it
But she could not run.
You see, Chutti was small and light
But, the tail was long and heavy.
So Chutti went back to the doctor.
I don't like this one.
It doesn't move.
I want that lovely striped tail.
That is a car's tail. You won't like it.
Oh, I really like it!
Please, do fix it on me!
We, all right.
Chutti was happy with her new tail.
A dog saw her tail. He thought it was a cat. He chased her
Chutti ran fast and climbed a tree.
Her heart was going 'dub-dub'.
Oh, oh, oh! This won't do!
Chutti went back to the doctor.
Doctor, please give me
my old tail back.
I don't want a new tail at all.
I told you that! Here you go!
Now your old tail is fixed.
