The Crocodile, the Tiger and the Jungle : Arham's Story


Pls Note - This post is almost in continuation of the previous post which I wrote more than 2 years ago.



 


So, writing here after a long gap. Meanwhile, lot of stories have been told to Arham.

He has grown up and is 4+ now.



Yesterday, I tried telling him a story and he sprung a surprise and that’s what prompted me to write this post. Yesterday he said –



“Papa wait – I will tell you the story”



And then he went on as follows –



"Once a time, there was crocodile.

He was veeeeerrrrrrry thirsty.(With an expression of being thirsty by touching his throat)

He had water on terrace.(With hands pointing upwards towards the terrace)

He said Thank you.

And he went to the Jungle.

There was tiger in the Jungle.

Tiger ate the crocodile.

Dinosaur in the jungle.

Biiiiiiiiiiiig Dinosaur. (Lot of stress on Big)"



And then a few lines which I could not understand.

Then …



"Tiger slept.

Crocodile slept.

And Dinosaur slept.



Thank you."



From his perspective, the story was complete and he was satisfied.

And I was happy to hear the bed time story from my 4 year old.


And here is he...
