Page 37 - 1, 2, 3... Cufo Piglet is Learning to Save
P. 37
However, the weirdest thing that drove our little explorers almost crazy was
something else. When they wanted to buy an almond and chocolate-flavour ice-
cream, aunt Doe standing behind the sweets display counter told them that an
ice-cream cost 2 greenlets.
“Greenlets?”, - asked Cufo and Tip in one voice. “What are they?”
“So, you aren’t from here, are you?” said aunt Doe, laughing.
“No. We have come from the Apples Forest just for a walk”, - replied Cufo.
“Oh, so you don’t know that ice creams and everything else in this forest are
paid with greenlets, do you? You’ve come here uninformed, eh?” – said Doe,
pulling their leg.
“But that’s why we are here,
hey aunt, to be informed”, -
replied Tip unhesitantly.
Tip’s answer made Doe
burst into laughter.
She explained everything
about the greenlets and
before they left, she treated
them with a cherry-flavoured
ice cream covered with
almonds and syrup. The
ice cream was so yummy
that Tip’s mouth still waters,
whenever he thinks about it.
Wisely, Tip called that forest
the ‘Ice cream Forest’.
