The Day Animals Went to School
One morning, I reached school and saw something very strange. There were animals everywhere!
The teacher entered the classroom and said,
“Today we have some new students.”
I looked around in surprise. A monkey was sitting on the first bench, a rabbit was near the window, and a parrot was sitting on the teacher’s table. A little elephant was trying to squeeze into a chair.
The teacher smiled and said, “Everyone, please introduce yourselves.”
The monkey quickly stood up and said, “My name is Mintu. I am very good at climbing trees, but I am not very good at climbing stairs!”
Everyone laughed.
Next, the parrot said, “Good morning! Good morning! Good morning!” It kept repeating the same words until the teacher said, “We heard you the first time!”
Then the rabbit raised its paw and asked, “Ma’am, when is lunch?”
The teacher laughed and said, “You have just arrived!”
The science class was the funniest. The teacher asked, “Which animal has a long trunk?”
The elephant proudly raised his trunk.
“Very good!” said the teacher.
Suddenly, the monkey shouted, “Ma’am, I know the answer to the next question too!”
“What is it?” asked the teacher.
“The next question is, ‘Who is the naughtiest student in the class?’”
Everyone looked at the monkey.
The monkey quickly hid behind the elephant.
At lunchtime, the animals sat together. The rabbit ate carrots, the monkey ate bananas, and the parrot tried to eat everyone’s snacks.
By the end of the day, I had made many new friends. As I walked home, I thought, “I never knew school could be so funny!”
The next morning, I reached school early. I was excited to meet my animal friends again.
But there was one problem.
The headmaster was standing at the gate with a notice in his hand:
“Tomorrow, all teachers will attend Animal School!”
Everyone cheered, and I knew that another funny day was about to begin.
