Hey ho Hey ho I'm Kakapo,

I live in the jungle named Congo.

I share this jungle with my friends Elly the elephant, Harry the horse and Hank the wild dog.

Who are all active during the day and love to jog!

If only I was active all day long...

One day, while we were walking around in the calm yet beautiful jungle, we saw a note, as white as snow on the ground.

Elly picked up the snowy-white snow note and said,

"There is a contest for the best, going on downtown. Only the smart ones can win the crown. Bring your fellow peers who are smart, then take the heart of the crown and depart."

"Can I come too?," I asked."I want to win a crown and eat the apple pie."

"Don't make a fuss," said think tank Hank, "It is only for the smart. Please don't take it to heart, but you're not smart."

They left me alone, out in the cold, out in the freshly melted snow, making me puzzled from head to toe.

Walking around, I heard snaps from broken twigs and splashes from happy fish, then I realized that there was something I needed to accomplish.

I needed to show them that I was useful, that I was smart, and I needed to find something to make a start.

I felt like God was on my side. With pride, I picked up the note. I stared at it and read the quote:

'We need someone with strong legs to climb up the tree that's high. If you can get it, you get an apple pie! Up the tree is the honey we need. Someone's sick and she needs it quick!'

"This is my time to shine," said Kakapo. "I can finally show my friends that I am not useless and what they said was pure foolishness."

On the way to the tree, Kakapo decided to bring along his friends.

"Do you know who needs the honey Kakapo? I hope you're not doing it just for a show", said Hank.

"I honestly don't know Hank. I wonder who needs the honey. Does anyone know?" asked Kakapo.

"It is my dear mum. She is sick and that is what she needs to overcome", said unhappy Harry.

"Oh dear! I'm sorry Hank. I'll make sure I will get it down quickly! Don't you worry." replied determined Kakapo.

"Thank you Kakapo, but I don't think you can do it. I mean none of us can do it," said Harry.

Kakapo felt underestimated but he replied saying,"We'll see."

We finally reached the destination and found Shino the Hippo at the station. As worried as a toad under a harrow, I asked Shino if anyone has succeeded yet.

Shino replied," Oh no matey! We are still waiting for the right person. That certain someone. Would you like to try?"

Nervously I accepted the offer.
