The gecko was crawling and playing on the wall, and suddenly a big green snake bit him!
The gecko struggled to escape, but its tail was broken.
How ugly it would be without a tail! The gecko decided to borrow a tail.
Tabby cat, can you lend me your tail? asked the gecko.
No , no borrowing! If I walk on the wall without my tail upright to balance my body, I will fall!
Woodpecker, can you borrow me your tail?
No , no borrowing! Without the support of my tail, I can't sit and treat the big tree!
Squirrel, can you borrow me your tail?
No , no borrowing! Without my tail as a parachute, I wouldn't be able to jump around in the trees!
Scalper, can you lend me your tail?
No , no borrowing! Gadflies keep biting me, so I have to use my tail as a whip to drive them away!
Little Fish, can you lend me your tail?
No , no borrowing! I have to keep wagging my tail to move forward in the water!
Possum, can you lend me your tail?
No, my babies ! I like hanging on my tail and swinging on it. I can't lend you my tail.
The gecko was very sad because he couldn't borrow tail anywhere. The mother opossum said: Go find your mother quickly, she must have a way.
The gecko returned home and said sadly to his mother: My tail is broken, but no one will lend me its tail...
The gecko mother smiled and said :My Silly baby, isn’t your tail right behind you?
The gecko looked back - ah, he has grown a new tail!
