Story 5 - The Tomato Island
Kangu had a lot of fun on the back of Jacko. Because he saw many other animals in the water, which greeted Jacko. There was a big octopus with 8 arms that waved them wildly back and forth. Then there were the many little friends of his that could not only swim in the water, no, they could also fly through the air! "These are flying fishes," Jacko enlightened him.
Kangu turned around and was very frightened. Immediately he patted Jacko on the back and said fearfully, "You Jacko, I can't see my home anymore, it has disappeared". In fact, around Kangu there was only blue sky and the wide sea. But Jacko replied, "Don't worry. I have a sea map of the whole earth in my head. We will find our way back.
Suddenly, however, he swam to the left with a jerk and said, "I'll show you something you've never seen before."
Kangu looked around tensely, but he couldn't see anything.
After a while, he saw it!
In the distance, he saw a red dot. The red dot grew bigger and bigger and soon he could see something. Yes, it was an island with a huge red mountain. The closer they got, Kangu's breath stopped... He had never seen anything like it. The mountain was actually a huge tomato.
When they arrived at the island, Jacko swam backward to the beach. Then he lifted Kangu up with his tail fin and gently pushed him onto the sandy beach. It was red sand - wow!
Jacko called out, "Look at the beach for a bit, but not too long, because we have to get back home."
Since the island was not very big, Kangu immediately ran to the big tomato. When he touched it, he found that it was very smooth and you could push something into it with your finger. When he did, he heard giggling. He repeated this over and over and each time he pressed it, that giggle sounded. Kangu thought it was funny. I'm sure you did too.
Suddenly he heard a high-pitched voice, "Can you stop that, you are tickling me". Kangu looked around, but he didn't see anyone!
"You have to look up," the voice said. When Kangu did, he could very faintly make out a face.
