010 Handa’s Surprise

Handa put seven delicious fruits in a basket

for her friend, Akeyo.

She will be surprised,

thought Handa as she set off for Akeyo’s village.

I wonder which fruit she’ll like best?

Or the sweet-smelling guava?

Will she like the round juicy orange…

Or the ripe red mango?

Wil lshe like the spiky-leaved pineapple…

The creamy green avocado…Or the tangy purple passion-fruit?

Which fruit will Akeyo like best?

“Hello,Akeyo,” said Handa. “I’ve brought you a surprise.”

“Tangerines!”said Akeyo. “My favorite fruit.”

“TAANERINES?”said Handa. “That is a surprise!”
