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.”
