CHAPTER 2

My Name

Class 2 • Mridang

📖 Let us Read

Once there was a little fly. One day, he could not remember his name! He tried and tried to remember it, but it was of no use.

He had forgotten his name. He asked an ant, “Ant, do you know my name?”

The ant said, “I don’t know. You may ask the tree I climb.”

The fly said, “Dear tree, do you know my name?” The tree said, “I don’t know. You may ask the cow sleeping in my shade.”

The fly went near the cow and asked, “Dear cow, do you know my name?” The cow said, “I don’t know. You may ask the grass I eat.”

The fly went to the grass and asked, “Dear grass, do you know my name?” The grass said, “I don’t know. You may ask the leaves fallen on me.”

The fly asked a leaf fallen on the grass, “Dear leaf, do you know my name?” The leaf was about to answer, when the wind blew. The leaf began to fly.

Seeing this, the fly remembered his name! “My name is Fly! My name is Fly!” he said happily.
