The Legend of House Lizard
Long time ago
There's this kid named Kiko.
This kid is very mischievous and a meddler.
that's why he always get in trouble with his parents
Even with all those trouble,
he does not learn anything from it.
He's just becoming a brat with no respect to his parents.
Because of this no one wants to play with him.
Since there's no one to play with
he made pets his pastime!
He's hurting them.
Also the plants of their neighbor
he secretly destroys.
One day
While his mom is sweeping the backyard
He went to an anthill..
He kicked it until it was destroyed.
His mom became very angry
She asked for forgiveness to a dwarf
who she believes reside on the anthill
"Oh dwarf, please forgive my son he'll never do it again"
"He'll be a good boy from now on"
"I promise"
That's what his mom said to the anthill.
His mother lectured him and said:
"Son, do not do that again"
"because its bad when dwarfs get angry"
Kiko seems sleepy
and he does not seem to care what his mom is saying.
the next day while playing..
he found some lizard egg.
he was very happy & played with it.
he broke all the eggs
He was surprised when he suddenly saw..
a Dwarf!
"HEY!!"
"Naughty kid!"
"why are you breaking those eggs?"
"don't you know there's life inside it?"
"because of this..."
"I'LL PUNISH YOU!"
"I'll make you a relative of the lizard"
That's what the angry dwarf said to Kiko
Kiko shouted and said:
"Please don't, Please don't - have mercy"
"I'll be a good boy - promise"
The dwarf replied and said:
"LIAR!"
"How many times have you made a promise?"
"remember, your mom made a promise.."
"that you'll be good ever since you destroyed my home"
"but did you change?"
"Now as a punishment"
"I'll make you a small animal like a lizard"
"You'll kiss the ground everyday before evening"
"This is to teach you respect"
"and because you are a human.."
"you'll live inside a house not in the forest"
"from this day forth.."
"people will call you..."
"House Lizard !"
The dwarf disappeared after saying that to Kiko.
Kiko was afraid, he panicked!
He ran towards home shouting:
"I don't want to be a house lizard, Mom help me!"
"I don't want to be a house lizard!"
his mom saw Kiko's slow transformation..
until he became a small like lizard.
and since "House Lizard" is what she heard from Kiko
it's the same name his mom called this small lizard.
until now
house lizards would kiss the ground before evening.
Only time can tell if Kiko will be human again.
and since he was once human
house lizard lives in houses.
So kids..
Remember to be respectful to your parents
& not be naughty
and this ends our story about:
The Legend of House Lizard.
