A Shiny Little Friend

 


Cici, the rabbit, and Pipi, the peacock, are friends. They live happily in the forest. They always play and laugh together.

One day, they played hide and seek. Cici began to hide when Pipi was counting. Cici hid behind bushes. Suddenly, her eyes caught something strange under a tree. She called Pipi and saw it together. They found something shiny. It was a beautiful blue diamond. They didn’t know that it was a magical diamond.

Curiously, they picked it up. Their eyes widened as they saw the magical one. “Let’s take it home,” said Pipi. Cici agreed. They brought it to Pipi’s house. There, they stared at it, not knowing what to do with the magical diamond. Then, they tried to clean the dirt away from it.

Magically, it became bigger and bigger. Cici and Pipi stepped backward and watched it couriously. The blue diamond was split into two and something appeared from within. It was a cute shiny turtle. It was alive and smiled to them. Cici and Pipi looked at each other in awe. “How come?” asked Cici. “I don’t know,” replied Pipi.

The shiny little turtle came out from the diamond and said, “Hello.” “Hello. Are you real?” asked Cici. “Yes, I am. Can I be your friend,” said the turtle. Cici and Pipi answered at the same time, “Yes, of course!” Since then, they became three true friends.
