HALDI'S ADVENTURE
One morning, as Haldi walked to school, she met a giraffe. The giraffe wore big glasses and held a book in his hand. He smiled and said, "Good Morning, Haldi."
Haldi looked up at him. "I am sorry to stare, "she said,"but I have never met a giraffe like you."
"My name is Smiley," said giraffe.
"Whenever you see me, you will smile."
Haldi was surprised and happy too. Then she remembered that she would be late for school. So she said to the giraffe, "I would love to talk to you, but I must rush to school or I will be late
The giraffe said, " Not if you ride on my back. If you climb on my back, I will run do fast that you will feel you are flying to school,. Do you go to school every day ? "
"Yes, "said Haldi. " I go to school on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. On Saturdays, I play games at schools. "
What do you do in school ?" Asked the giraffe. "I learn about the stars, the trees, the birds and the animals. "
"That is good," said the giraffe, "I love books too. They are a lot of fun. Now jump on my back. I will take you to school. "
Haldi then jumped on the giraffe's back and found that she could see so many things from the top. And before she knew it she had reached the school playground. She climbed down. When she turned back to thank the giraffe, she found that he had gone away.
"Oh!" Haldi thought. "What a wonderful adventure I have had!"

As we start this book let us remember a few ideas that were reflected on in story one.
We need to remember that when we teach English at this level, there is a transition from the home language to the school language. It is not only a move from the mother tongue to the second and third language, but also a move to the more disciplined environment of the school, where social behavior is to be related to a group of peers.
Learning English there fore need not involve the loss of the home language.
While the child is being exposed to new and worlds, she is still rooted in present environment; attempts are made in the book to draw on what is familiar to the child.
The story encourages the child to use language in speech and writting. To express feelings and opinions, to reach out to others, see other points of view and thus develop as asocial being
The book supports the child's emotional needs and anxieties in order to strengthen the pathways to learning.
