Pongo Needs A Gabba | Gabba Meaning | Learn Through Stories #stories


On one midnight, Pongo, the dinosaur, ran away from his home in the jungle. Wandering about in zigzagging trails of dense trees, he got lost. As young as he was, he couldn’t remember his way to home. Lonely and frightened, he kept walking and soon found himself roaming in the city. While he was plodding on a streetside, he bumped into a boy named Brandy who was playing with other kids in a park. They were jumping in a pool, laughing loudly, and having fun. Seeing them enjoy, Pongo approached them. By the time he arrived at the pool, the boys were already walking away towards a lemonade stand. Eager to join their friendly company, Pongo followed them to the lemonade stand. By the time he reached the stand, the boys had already bought their glasses of lemonade and were now walking towards a peanut seller. Sweaty-bodied, Pongo kept following them. Meanwhile, one of the boys in the group realized that this giant green dragon was following them. He whispered this to Brandy and other boys. They turned back to face Pongo. There were tears in Pongo’s eyes, not only because he was hungry, but also because he was lonely. Brandy asked Pongo what did he want from them. Pongo replied, “I just need a gabba.” The word “gabba” means “a friend.”
