The ladybug who losther spots • a fairy tale • by students of 1S at Penrith PS, 2010
Once upon a time... • ... on a very windy day, a red ladybug was flying over a long river.
. : . • : • The ladybug was flying too fast! The wind blew all of her spots off...
x • ... and they fell down into the water.
Corey the crocodile was swimming in the river. He was looking for something to eat. • “I have important stuff to do. I didn’t have time to eat breakfast or lunch!”
x • Corey thought he saw some delicious tadpoles. “They look really yummy.”
He was soooo hungry! • Corey ate and ate until he was full.
“I think something’s wrong!” • Usually, tadpoles wriggled in Corey’s tummy, but these tadpoles didn’t move.
x • The red ladybug wanted her spots back. She asked some friends to help.
x • “How can we trick the crocodile to open his mouth?”

x • Corey opened wide!
The red ladybug flew down the crocodile’s throat... • ... and found her missing spots.
x • She glued them back on with some honey she found in a hollow tree.
x • The other ladybugs escaped from the crocodile’s nostrils.
x • “Thank you for helping me!” said the happy red ladybug.
x • “Mmmmmm. Now I’m hungry again,” said Corey the crocodile.
