Болот Бегалиев – Alphabet Adventure with the Little Bunny-1 (страница 2)

In his dreams, he rode white clouds across the sky. And there, on the crescent moon, was the letter A, gently swinging and shining.

Letter B, b

The morning had come. Despite the shining sun, the air was still cool. The green grasses looked fresh and lively – the cool, rainy weather had done them well.

By the little Bunny’s window stood a tall tree. From that tree, a gentle knocking came. The sound woke up the Bunny. He rubbed his eyes and peeked outside. There, tangled in the branches, hung a parachute – and next to it stood the letter B.

Bunny opened the window.

“Who are you?” he asked.

“I’m the letter B,” said the letter, smiling.

“Where did you come from?”

“I parachuted down from the sky. My parachute got caught in your tree!”

“Well then, come into the house!” said the Bunny.

The letter B stepped through the window. The Bunny headed off to brush his teeth and wash up.

“Come on, little Bunny, let’s get to know each other,” said the letter. “I’m B. Without me, the world would be very confusing! Just imagine ‘banana’ without B – it might turn into ‘anana.’ Or ‘book’ without B – it would just be ‘ook!’ I’m very important!”

“I know lots of B words!” said the Bunny proudly.

“Bunny, banana, bee, book, bike, beer, bird, ball, bed, baby.”

“Excellent!” said the letter B. “Today, there’s a boxing competition. Want to go?”

“Sure! Let me ask Mom.”

They went downstairs. Mama Hare was watching TV.

“Mom! Guess who came to visit?” asked the Bunny. “It’s the letter B, and there’s going to be a boxing match! Can I go?”

“You can go with your older brother,” said Mama.

The Bunny finished breakfast while B drew pictures of things that started with his letter. Then the Bunny called his big brother, and they stepped outside.

Outside, they saw the little bear playing.

“Where are you going?” asked the little bear.

“To the boxing match,” said the Bunny.

“Can I come too?”

“Sure, just ask your mom!”

The little bear raced home. His mother peeked through the window, gave a nod, and moments later the little bear came out – this time holding a big mug labeled “Bear” from a pretend tea party set.

Everyone laughed and marched off, singing songs along the way.

They arrived at the city gymnasium, where the championship was being held. The place was packed – no seats left, only standing room! The hall buzzed with energy.

The boxing matches began. Kids from many clubs competed. The children cheered, eyes wide with excitement.

When the matches ended, the winners were awarded, and the Bunny and his friends set off to Papa Hare’s greenhouse. The letter B pushed the cart while Bunny and Bear played “Cities That Start with B”:

“Boston!”

“Berlin!”

“Bangkok!”

Papa Hare was busy gathering fresh fruits and vegetables. He even showed them the worm beds where he raised earthworms to make vermicompost – the best organic fertilizer.

With the cart full, they returned home. The Bunny, exhausted, fell asleep along the way.

He dreamed of a grand theater. In the dream, he, the letter B, and the teddy bear were watching a ballet. The performance began: the lights dimmed, and a spotlight lit the stage.

A white swan danced alone, searching for his beloved. Suddenly, a swan girl arrived. They danced together, wings fluttering, and when they twisted their necks, they formed a perfect heart.

But then – dark clouds rolled in. Thunder rumbled. A black swan swooped down, snatching the swan girl and disappearing. The white swan, heartbroken, stood alone in the storm.

Just then, the spotlight turned to the Bunny – bright and blinding. He squinted, and everything turned to light…

The Bunny woke up. It wasn’t the stage light – it was the morning sun!

He rubbed his eyes.

“Was that a dream? Or did I really go to the ballet?”

He ran to find Mama.

“Mom! Have you ever seen the ballet ‘Swan Lake’? I saw it… in my dream!”

But Mama wasn't in the kitchen. She was outside. The Bunny ran after her, eager to share his magical dream.

Letter C, c

It was early in the morning. Mama Hare was in the kitchen preparing breakfast – and, of course, the little Bunny’s favorite salad: carrot and cabbage. After morning exercises, the bunny siblings washed up and sat at the table.

The most pleasant part of the morning? Breakfast, of course! A good meal brings joy and energy for the day. Today was a special day – it was the day of the letter C.

The letter C had an important job: to take the children to school, and little Bunny to kindergarten. Letter C brought along some of his friends: Cat, Camel, and Crab. They also wanted to help teach the children how to read and write the letter C.

Cat, Car, Cart, Cabin, Crab, Coins, Cannon, Camel, City, Cheese.

As we said, C was in charge of the morning ride. Papa Hare went off to his greenhouse, and Mama Hare stayed home to work remotely on her computer.

The letter C drove the older children to school in his cheerful Car. Then, he drove the younger ones – including little Bunny – to kindergarten. There, Madam Goat, Madam Fox, and Madam Chicken greeted the children.

Today, Madam Fox would lead the drawing class. She handed out pencils, brushes, and gouache paint.

“Draw whatever your heart desires!” she said.

All the drawings would be displayed in the waiting area for parents to see when they arrived.

Madam Fox strolled around the classroom, helping the children with their art and teaching them drawing techniques.

She came to little Bunny’s desk.

“Little Bunny, what are you drawing?”

“I’m going to be a pilot when I grow up,” said Bunny. “This is the inside of the plane. That’s me holding the helmet. There’s a parachute on my back. These are the control buttons. When I press them, the engine starts, the propeller spins, and the plane takes off into the sky.”

Madam Fox smiled.

“What a great guy you are! But I see a rocket in the background. Can you tell me about that?”

“When I get tired of planes and helicopters, I’ll fly into space to another planet. See that place near the seashore with the white sand? That’s where I’ll build my house. I’ll swim, relax, and cook mushrooms and kebabs. Let’s all go there together someday!”

“What a wonderful imagination,” said Madam Fox. “Very well done.”

“Thank you!” said Bunny.

Next, Madam Fox approached the baby Elephant.
