Hi, Tia.
Hi, Maria
Hi, Joanna!
Hi, Tofu!
Hello, Tofu!
What are you all up to?
We are completing our art project for tomorrow
I also wanna do it.
can I?
Wait, wait, wait, Tofu!
why?
All I want to do is add my prints also.
I
I’ll follow your pattern
I’m sorry Tofu, but there’s no place on this one
Can I give you another sheet to do this?
It’s okay if you don’t want me to be a part of the fun, Tia
Hey, Tofu.
Oh, now you have time for me?
Well, actually I had a story for you
Its about a lost mitten
On a cold, winter day
when the entire forest was covered in a white blanket of snow
a kind mole came upon a warm mitten
Oh, wow!
A warm mitten on this cold day!
I’ll live in it and make it my home for the winters
Just as the mole was making himself comfortable in his new house
a little frog showed up at its mouth and called out to the mole.
Hello Mr. Mole
Oh, hi there frog!
How can I help you?
It’s very cold out here today
My feet are freezing in the snow
Can I share your mitten with you?
Of course, there is enough room in here for both of us.
So the kind mole welcomed the frog in the mitten
Just as they were warming up
a rabbit comes up to them
Hello, friends!
It is really cold out here
My tail is freezing!
Please give me some space in the mitten
Of course, come in, come in!
The rabbit was very happy for the generosity
And he got into the mitten with the mole and the frog
Then they had two more visitors
A fox and a vixen
It is so c-c-cold today
My snout is freezing.
I feel like I am breathing ice
Can we please get some shelter in the mitten?
We’re already three in here
It’ll be a little tight
but sure, come in.
We will manage some how.
Thankful, the fox and the vixen squeezed themselves into the mitten.
But there was just no space for anyone to move
Sometimes the rabbit would step on the frog’s foot
and sometimes the mole stepped on the fox’s tail
As they all struggled
a bear came along
A warm mitten and good company!
Just what I need on this gloomy cold day.
Make room for me friends
I’m going to come in too
Oh, no!
But there’s no place in here
You’re too big for this mitten
I promise, I won’t take too much space
Oh, no Oh, Noooo!
but the bear didn't litsen to them
And made it into the already crowded mitten
The animals had no choice now
but to stick their heads out of its mouth
so that there was space inside for their bodies
And just as they were all finally settling in
a baby mouse came along, shivering in the cold
Hello, everyone!
You all look so warm in there
It is so cold here.
Look at my tiny tail.
It has frozen it self blue.
please
Let me also come in.
Sorry, little mouse
but this mitten is completely packed.
Even though you are so tiny
there is just no room for you here
Oh, but I see some place
It’s all that I need.
The little mouse dashed towards the mitten
and before anyone could say anything
he climbed on to the bear’s nose and sat there
But his cold little tail hung there and irritated the bear’s nose
He was about to sneeze!
Aaaachoooooooooo!
The bear couldn’t hold his sneeze
and with a loud sound he sneezed so hard
that the mitten went flying up, up
and up in the air
and all the animals got thrown out of it into the cold snow once again
hmmmm
‘Hmmm’, what Tofu?
‘Hmmm’
I was going to be the bear in your mitten!
Yes, and you would have sent it flying into the air!
