Bushbaby and Chameleon
A long time ago, all the animals of the forest called a meeting. At the meeting, it was decided to organize a racing content to determine the fastest animal in the jungle.
Among the participants in the race was the famous Bushbaby. Now, Bushbaby was the most feared animal in the forest on account of her speed and agility. The other animals felt that this was going to be a walkover for Bushbaby. And so they all hesitated. Even other fast runners like Antelope and Gazelle hesitated.
However, Chameleon came forward and said he would compete against Bushbaby. Now, this drew a jeer from the crowd. Who didn’t know that Chameleon was among the slowest animals in the jungle?
This, however, didn’t discourage him. He reiterated his decision to challenge Bushbaby in the race. The race started with the blowing of a whistle. Bushbaby set off like lightning. But before she could pass Chameleon, the latter threw his hands out and held onto Bushbaby’s long hairy tail. He clung to it like a magnet.
At the finish line, Chameleon was the first to sit down. As Bushbaby was preparing to sit, she heard a firm voice from behind her. “Hey, my friend. Don’t sit on me”. This was Chameleon talking. He had won the race. And there ends my story. But may I not end with it.
