Good-hearted Lizzie


*source*

Lizzie is a one-of-a-kind purple elephant. 
She likes wearing a pink bow as she thinks it compliments her very well.
Lizzie is a very good-hearted elephant.
Other elephants are always curious of her colour because typically, elephants would have grey skin.
Despite being different, she is always very kind and caring to others.

One day as Lizzie was skipping through the jungle, she saw Jack the eagle.


*source*
She wanted to greet him as she normally would, but things didn't seem right with Jack.
Being the curious elephant that she is, she hid behind the bushes to take a peek at what Jack was doing.

Apparently, Jack was picking on Bip, the rabbit. 


*source*
Jack was calling Bip names and saying Bip couldn't fly like he could. 
Lizzie was very shocked and became furious.
Lizzie hurried over to Jack and said "Excuse me, Jack! That isn't a very nice thing to say to Bip! He might not be able to fly like you can, but he is a very fast runner indeed! It's not good to look down on others, Jack. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses."
Jack was dumbfounded. 
He was lost for words and became very ashamed of himself. 
Jack apologized to Bip for being mean and Bip was more than glad to forgive him.

Afterwards, Lizzie headed over to the river to have a sip of water.
She then heard some noises which was actually of Dam, the deer. 


*source*

Dam had come over to have a drink from the river too.
But before Dam could reach the river, Sly the snake got hold of him first.


*source*
Sly was waiting behind a tree, waiting for Dam to pass by before he tripped Dam over with his tail.
Dam fell to the ground and cried.
Sly became panicked when Dam started crying.
Lizzie witnessed everything and rushed over to see if Dam was hurt.
Sly felt guilty, afraid that he could have hurt Dam.
"I'm very sorry Dam. It was meant as a harmless prank. I didn't mean to make you cry", said Sly.
"It's okay Sly. But I really dislike it when you pull these pranks on me", replied Dam, still sobbing.

Lizzie comforted Dam as he continued sobbing.
"You see Sly, it's not good to pull pranks on others. They could get seriously injured if your plan was to go wrong. Let this be a lesson for you to be careful with your actions", advised Lizzie.
Sly nodded to show he understood well.


*source*

Later that evening, all five of them met at the field where they would play their daily game of "pass-the-ball".
In reality, Lizzie, Bip, Jack, Dam, and Sly, are all good friends. 
But some, like Jack and Sly, are naughtier than others.
Luckily, Lizzie is always around to give them advice and help them be good to each other.

The end.

Meet My Assistants

Hello again everyone!
Today, I will introduce a few characters who are also my assistants.
They are the ones that will be helping me teach English through my posts.
So without further a due, here are my little helpers...




 This is Miss A.
 She is an English teacher.
 She is the one who will be teaching you all you need to know about English. 




 Meet Apple.
 She is an English student.
 A learner - just like you readers! 




 This is Orion.
 He is Apple's classmate.
 He is studying English, too. 




 And finally...meet the Grammar Police! 
 He doesn't like to expose his real name
and insists that people call him, Mr. GP. 

 Supposedly, "GP" stands for "Grammar Police". 
 But looking at him, it seems "Grumpy Police" is more suitable. 
 (Pssst, don't tell him I said that!) 







So those are all my helpful little assistants.

I'm glad that you now know them because then...
WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE FUN LESSONS!
Yeay for English!
See you in the next post soon.

Bye!
