Panda Ada

Once upon a time, there was an adorable but childish girl-panda called Ada. Everyone called her Dada because it was her nick name. She was pretty and she liked to sleep.

One day she made a dream when she was having a nap. In her dream mama-panda bought her some delicious leaves and she was eating the leaves happily. Suddenly she heard somebody shouting at her. She woke up but she was very angry with the one who disturbed her sweet dream. She hid herself under the blanket. She continued to stay on her bed.

After ten minutes, mama-panda came to Dada's room and told her that her friend, Mimi came and wanted to give her some delicious leaves. Mimi left the delicious leaves that she brought with her. Dada was very sad for what she did to her friend.

She decided to go to Mimi's house and said sorry to Mimi. Mimi said sorry too, because she disturbed her friend's sleep. After that, they ate the delicious leaves together while they talked about Mimi's last dream.

When Dada came back home, she thought about Mimi's dream. It was about a wonderful forest, there were a lot of nice pandas, some pandas made friend with Mimi and they invited Mimi to the wonderful forest. Mimi met a lot of kind pandas there. There were also a lot of trees with delicious fruits and leaves. There was also an amazing waterfalls. It was surely a good place to live, all of the padans lived happily there. They wanted Mimi to stay there too, but Mimi did not stay because of her mama and her papa. She could not live without them …She woke up!

Dada really liked Mimi's dream, it was really an interesting and beautiful dream. But she did not believe there was a wonderful forest, because people had caused damage to the forests. They hunted animals like pandas.

At night, Dada prayed before she slept because she wanted to have a dream about the wonderful forest. God heard Dada's prayer about the wonderful forest.

Dada fell into sleep she heard someone called her name in her dream she looked around and she saw a lot of pandas. They were friendly and nice to her, they brought Dada to the wonderful forest. She saw what Mimi saw too. There was many kinds of butterflies flying over the beautiful flowers.

There were many baby pandas playing around the trees, they looked lovely. And she saw some
pandas swam in the amazing waterfalls, it was a beautiful place that she could never think of leaving! She heard a voice telling her to believe and show respect to others. Suddenly Dada woke up. She hugged her mother and shared her dream.

That day, she learned to be a polite and respectful panda.
