“Walk to the nearby jungle sure was tiring,

let’s find a place to rest, please?”

“Please?” “PLEASE?”

Jumbo, the elephant whined. He was out of

breath, fat that he was.

“Hey, Look! This looks like a great place to

rest!” Slither, the snake pointed.

“Let’s go ahead to see if we can find

something better”, Giffy, the smart giraffe

as always spoke to show that he knew better

than the rest.



OMIGOSH! Never saw such a tree! shriekedChirpy Parrot. “It’s almost like the way

Slither moves, twisting and turning after

every two steps”.

Chirpy’s remark made everyone laugh after a

long time. He was right. The tree was surely

strange. It was hanging upside down with

the windows opening from its branches

every thirty forty steps.



Jumpy monkey after a long thoughtful gaze jumped up on one of its branches to look

inside.

“Wow, it looks as though there’s a house

inside it. Best part is that I’m going in it

first!!” saying that he lunged right ahead.

Soon each one of them was right in the tree

and looking out of its cute little windows!



“Look there’s so much to play with here!These blocks and these wonderful toys

surely must belong to some lucky kid”!

Wondered Catty, the caterpillar sitting on aswing that was such great fun and her all

time favourite.

“Everything here is just too good andamazing, but there is just one thing that I

can’t figure out,” Giffy said.



All his friends stopped whatever theywere doing to look at what he

meant. Their experience with Giffy

proved that he was always rightwhenever he had a bad gut feeling.

The big grey mirror! It had no shine

or luster; it just hung there giving aspooky feel about it.



Just then Raja, the lion king of the nearby

jungle came by and caught them lookingat the big mirror. He had to stop them.

“Don’t go near it”, he roared.

“It’s not a normal mirror, it’s a Time

machine! It’ll take you years ahead or

back in time. Stay away from it or you’ll

never know how to come back”! heexclaimed.



Jumpy’s naughty mind started racing. He

smiled at his own idea. Raja was a ruthlessking who kept all the animals alwaysrunning helter skelter saving their lives. Hehad a wonderful idea, and winked at Giffy,

knowing that only he would understand hisgestures.

“I don’t believe this trash. There is no suchthing as a time machine. You are kidding all

of us.” Said Jumpy.



“Me too! I know he’s playing a good joke on

us”, laughed Giffy

“Well, if you don’t believe me, I’ll show you”,

snapped Raja.

He stood in front of the mirror and said

something like

“Here I stand, on this one, take me to the

Land from where I come”!



“WHOOOOSHHH”! The sound was earshattering. The mirror roared and rumbled

to take the Lion king in and take him to

ancient land where he was just an animal,without any special powers or kingdom.

He sat alone and had to really work hard for

his meals rather than just order them as hewas used to.



The animals rejoiced. The tree house was

a wonderful place to play in and study.

They soon had many friends from the

nearby jungle to play with them.

And the Time machine? Well it was very

carefully covered with a cloth to avoid

any mishap now.
