The Story of Adam the Armadillo

Summary Jazz the Jaguar, Leopoldo the Llama and Dudley the Sloth are playing football. Adam wants to play too but the others say he's too small, so he just sits on the side and watches the game. Jazz and Leopoldo juggle with the water melon like top class South American footballers. Dudley is hanging down from a makeshift goal. He only moves his paws but never misses a ball. But then the watermelon is shattered when it lands on a cactus. Jazz has an idea. He turns to Adam. 'You wanted to play football didn't you? Well now you can. You can be the ball'. This wasn't quite what Adam had in mind. He curls himself up into a ball and the match continues. Poor Adam is kicked all over the field. He rolls into a puddle and catches a cold. Then Leopoldo kicks him in a cave. Jazz, Leopoldo and Dudley approach the entrance of the cave. A terrible roar resounds from the cave. Could it be a monster? They will have to rescue Adam. But the trio isn't as brave as they would like to be. With shaking knees they enter the dark cave. They find Adam sitting in a pool of light. Again they hear a terrible roar. Jazz, Leopoldo and Dudley jump up terrified, but Adam just laughs. 'That's not a monster', he says. 'That's just me!' The others laugh sheepishly when they realise the noise they heard was just the echo of Adam's sneeze. Afterwards they all play football together.
