Potla and Potlee
Potla and Potlee took their cows and sheep to the forest. `Moo! Baa!’ said the children’s animals.
``So much ` Moo, Baa!’ there is someone in the forest!’’
The animals had seen something funny! Potla and Potlee looked for something that was funny.
They saw it behind a tree. It had come from the space.
``Who are you? ‘’ they asked.
``I am Jee- Key –O, the Magic man I am from up there.’’
He looked at the sky.
``And Jee-Key-O is hungry.’’ He said.
Potla and Potlee gave him their chapattis.
``No, thank you. Jee-Key-O eats only keys.’’
Potla gave him a bunch of extra keys.
``Yummy, yum’’. The funny thing smacked its tips.
``Do you want to fly? A quick round the earth?’’ he asked.
Potla and Potlee were happy. But how it is?
``Hicky –Ricky –Koo. There is room for me and room for you.’’
The funny thing became funnier. It became bigger and bigger. Jump onto my back and hold on tight! Off we go! ``Wow!’’ said Potla and Potlee. ``Our earth is round. It looks beautiful orange fruit’’.
`I spy snow white land down there,’’ said Potla. `That is Cold land of the polar bear and penguin. Hicky –Ricky Koo,’’ said Jee –Key-O.
Potlee and Potla flew over the Himalayas. Some of the high mountains were white with snow. Some mountains had lost their trees and animals. ``The houses on the hills have sloping roofs, for the snow to melt and flow into the rivers. Hicky-Ricky- Koo,’’ said the Magic man.
Potlee and Potla saw high lands, low lands, flats and all kinds of water bodies, dry lands and forests with wild animals.
Potla and Potlee played `I spy.’ ``I spy winding roads like snakes in these mountains.’’
``So do I’’.
``I spy steps cut into the hills.’’
`I spy lots of food growing on the steps.’’
`` So do i.’’
``I spy people with coats, caps, mufflers and gloves.’’
``I spy a river starting from the mountains.’’
``I spy many little rivers meeting a big river.’’
``It is the River GNGA, Hicky-Ricky-Koo.’’
``I spy a low land between two mountains. It has houses.’’
``It is a valley, Hicky-Ricky- Koo.’’
``I spy tall pine trees on the hills.’’
``I spy a flat land on a highland.’’
``So do I’’
``Hicky –Ricky- Koo. It’s a plateau.’’
`I spy yak in the mountains and I spy crowded cities by the rivers. Many people live here. There plains have flat land’’.
``I spy crops.’’ ``So do I’’.
``I spy camels. I spy cactus and lots of sand. That is the desert. And I spy the seaside. There are Palm trees, coconut trees and beaches.’’
``So do I’’.
``Hicky –Rick-Koo. It is half past two. Time to go back,’’ aid Jee-key-O.
They flew back to the forest. ``Hicky –Ricky- Koo,’’ ``Hicky-Ricky-O became small again.
``Thank you, Jee-key –O. come again. We have a box full of old keys,’’ said Potla and Potlee.
Yummy, yum again I shall come’’.
A beam of light fell on the ground. It took away the funny little thing. ``Mom, Baa!’’ said the animals. Potlee and Potla took them home.
