Rango, The Disobedient Dragonfly

Once upon a time, there was a lake at the edge of a jungle. The lake was called
Golden Lake. It was surrounded by fields of thick, green grass.
One day, a baby dragonfly named Rango asked his mother, Mum,why is this lake
named Golden Lake? Is it true that there is gold at the bottom of the lake?
The mother smiled and answered, my dear,there is no gold in the lake.
Then why is it called Golden Lake?, asked Rango again.
When you are older, you will know. By the way, the lake is a dangerous place for a
young dragonfly like you. Remember, dont go there by yourself.
Rango was very angry.Why should I wait until I grow older? I want to know about
this lake right now! I will find out by myself.
That evening, Rango flew to the lake. As he sat by the lake, he saw a frog.
Mr frog,can you tell me the secret of this Golden Lake? Is it true there is gold in the
lake?,
Shhh! Not so loud!yes, its true, there is gold in the lake, but
But what? Shouted the impatient Rango.
It is not easy to get the gold.The lake is very deep. The only way one can get there
is Sang Kura-Kura the tortoise. He can only be found in the southern part of the lake. You
have powerful wings, you can fly there in a trice. If you can get the gold, you can become
rich and famous. This is your chance to become a hero!said the evil frog.
Rango was very proud of himself. Without any further thought, he flew to find the
tortoise.
The evil frog was smiling away because he managed to fool a baby dragonfly.
Just then, the sky turned dark as evening became night. After flying for quite some
time, Rango got lost. He became frightened.
As the weather became colder and colder, Rango started to shiver.

Oh mummy! Oh daddy! I dont want to search for any gold. I dont want to become a
hero. I just want to come back home.
Help! Somebody help me! He tried to call for help, but fainted while trying to do so.
When Rango opened his eyes, he found himself on his bed.
Where am I?
My child, you are at home. Uncle Bee and Aunty Butterfly carried you home when
they found you fainted in the jungle. Said the mother.
Mum,! Dad! I dont want to go to search for the gold anymore! Rango was in tears.
There is no gold in the Golden Lake. It is called Golden Lake because it is rich with goodwill
among its neighbours.You had been tricked by the evil frog.said the father.
Mum,dad,Im sorry.I promise I will listen to your words from now on. Said Rango.
My dear friends,the moral of the story is, we must always obey the words of our
parents. Otherwise, we might get ourselves into trouble.
Thats the end of my story,thank you.
