meebaa and meeboo



On a bright and sunny day in June, Meeboo asked Meebaa out for a climb. He said the air'd be fresh, the view'd be delightful, and that they'd be back by dinner time.

Meebaa concurred and so they left, two happy ants of one happy mind. But the monsoon wind did blow, making Meebaa's march slow, she'd soon fallen far behind.

Four hours later Meebaa was lost, she'd forgotten of the air and the view. She stopped, sat down, held her head in her palms and wondered what she should do.

But Lady Luck smiled warmly on this meek of the earth, for right then she heard a singing in the gloam! And who could it be but her daring old friend, who'd surely guide her back home.

On the way back Meeboo spoke of how he'd return, to get perfect view from the perfect tree. Meebaa only smiled and said, "And I'll come to keep you company!"
