SWANKY AND HIS TALL TALES / BEDTIME STORIES / SHORT STORIES

SWANKY AND HIS TALL TALES , Bedtime tales, Bed Time Stories.

Swanky is a boastful donkey. After running off from a village, and setting in the forest, he used to tell tall tales about his past. Everyday, he would find someone to listen to him.

On this particular day, Swanky met Moku monkey.

"Hey Moku, do you know how I helped tigers to escape from a bad Zoo?"

"How did that happen?" asked Moku. "Well, I'll tell you," said Swanky.

"I visited a zoo one holiday. As I walked around, I heard a feeble roar from a cage. "Who could that be?" I wondered. I walked towards the cage.

When I reached the cage, I was stunned to see a very thin tiger in it. I felt so sad for him. He was so week."


Swnaky's tone was angry when he said this. "I understood that the zoo authorities were not feeding the animals well. So, I decided to save them, and help them to return to the forest. This was quite an easy task for me. I went straight up to the tiger's cage. The tiger was locked up behind a thick iron gate. I tore the gate off from the concrete wall, and threw it away. The tiger came out. Then, I opened the doors for all the captive animals. I led them to the forest, right through the city." Swanky stopped.

Moku was looking at him open-mouthed. "How can a donkey do all this?" he thought. "He must be boasting."

"Hey Swanky, don't try to fool me! I know you are lying," said Moku, as he ran away.

"Hey! I really wanted to help the animals! If you didn't like my story, I will tell you another one," Swanky stuttered. But Moku had already vanished!!!
