Tongtong the Paper Boat

Rain poured down outside the window. The yellow paper boat that Bada folded is named Tongtong.

Bada went out with Mama and set Tongtong down in a puddle by the road. "Hello, Tongtong!"

Tongtong floated gently down the little stream in the alley. A snail on the wall asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see the sea!" Tongtong answered bravely.

The water ran faster. Tongtong was scared, but stayed strong.

When Tongtong reached the wide stream, the sun came out. A duck family swam along side by side.

When Tongtong got wet and heavy, the mother duck gave a little push. Look, the sea is sparkling!

On a starry night, Bada dreamed in a soft, cozy bed. Tongtong smiled happily in the wide sea.
