Two little friends Pixie and Jacko, loved fun and adventure. It was a little orange fussy cat named Pixie, who had shiny eyes and fluffy fur. Jacko was a happy brown monkey, he would always smile, and jump about. Not far from them was a quiet forest where on every day animals play together. Then one day they were baking under the sun’s rays and they thought to themselves that they would be great ninjas some day! They were convinced that if they learned the skills of the ninjas, they would be able to become fast, strong and fearless. Two long sticks Pixie found on the ground were “ninja swords”.
Jacko’s Ninja Training
Jacko tied a black cloth around his head and told them that he was the leader of training. They were both happy and proud. They went out into the woods to find the perfect spot where they could train their novices as ninjas in stealth. They walked for a time until they came to a small clearing, full of tall trees and soft grass. Training began by using only basic jumps and rolls. As Jacko jumped from one rock to the next he made funny ninja sounds. Pixie hoped that she might try but she landed in the grass and into a bush. She was quickly draped in leaves, but stood up and was brave.
Then they went on to cleanse themselves in the river and then practise their ninja skills. They desired to go on silently without noise. Jacko walked quietly but his foot had stepped on some dry leaves and these made loud crackling noises. As for Pixie, she tried not to make a sound but her tail caught in a drape. She ran around in circles, trying to get away. Jacko was again on the scene to help her, but he fell into a beehive which was hanging from a branch. The two friends lay down on the ground, breathing heavily. All of their ninja training had gone wrong.
They were tired in their bodies, their clothes were torn and their fur was dirty. However, they couldn’t but smile. But each of their errors has been a sweet and memorable joke as well. They didn’t know they were not the perfect ninjas but they were perfect friends. Slowly, as the sun was setting, Pixie & Jacko walked together to their home. They agreed to try again, but, the next day, they would try it with more care, and do less trouble. Although none of them were progressing as they would have liked to have with their Ninjas training, it had been a pleasant journey for all of them.
