GETTING TO KNOW

“Look who I ran into”, said the cockatoo to the butterfly. The butter-fly fluttered joyfully towards him and gave the cockatoo a big kiss, glad that the cockatoo was home again.
“Well, well, who do we have here? I am the butterfly”, said the butterfly, greeting the newcomer.
“Porcupine”, said the porcupine, who did not have many words yet because everything was still very new to him.
“Please, do come in,” said the butterfly, “and we’ll drink some of our best velvety vintage juice.”

A little farther away, the grumpy bear fumbled with the door of the mosquito’s house.
“Hey, mosquito,” said the grumpy bear, “did you see that?”
“No, no. What? Tell me, tell me!”, said the mosquito who was ever so curious.
“I just saw a sort of hedgehog”, said the grumpy bear. “But it was one with very long quills. I’ve never seen such long quills before.”
“My goodness,” said the mosquito, “long quills! Would that be dangerous; will he sting us with them? I have to warn everybody” and so it came to be that he whispered in the horn:
Watch out for hedgehogs with long stings.
They are dangerous!



You can continue reading in my book with fables that is published by BoekScout and can be found in their webshop.
The book is bilingual: Dutch-English and is titled:

HOE HET ZO GEKOMEN IS / HOW IT ALL CAME TO BE
psychologische fabels / psychological fables

*As in all fables, the stories mirror human behaviour. Through the animals’ characters, we actually look at ourselves and our society. The fables are contemplative, yet vivid and quite humorous.*
