ADVENTURES OF AKUA AND HER FRIENDS

Akua and the Coconut Trees Soso starts throwing his hands up in the air, jumping up and down and making the weirdest noises as he tries to tell his friend about the parrot. All Akua can do is laugh till she weeps! “How funny Soso looks” Akua thinks to herself. Mind you by the end of all Soso’s cooing, dancing and jumping around, Akua never quite understands what Soso has been trying to tell her. Akua then says to Soso, “I think you better stop all this jumping around before Mama comes and gives us a good telling off.” LITTLE AKUA AND HER STRANGER FRIEND Mama hears all this going on and thinks it might be nice if they made a cup of tea for her little Akua’s friend. She leaves a tray beautifully set up every morning for Kojo the tapper. Kojo helps himself and off he goes again with a clinggg and a clunkkkkk and his beautiful song as usual. Mind you Kojo well deserves that cup of tea as he is up at four each morning tapping the rubber trees for their sap when everyone else is still in bed snoring. He is really grateful to Akua’s mother for such a kind thought. AKUA, SOSO AND COPYCAT PARROT GO TO THE MARKET Other people in the market were not sure what was happening as Soso started to do a dance and Copycat parrot of course copying every move Soso made. The whole market was now at a standstill to watch, using their pots and pans to tap a lovely tune to what they thought was a show put on for them! Akua joined in. She just could not help herself! They were enjoying themselves so much they forgot all about getting Mama’s shopping! (©)
