The Mitten
4 min · 1–6 years · Ukraine
In the app, your child’s name stands where you see “Ani”.
In the winter forest, Grandpa lost his warm mitten. A little mouse found it and crept inside: “I’ll live here.”
A frog hopped up: “May I come in too?” — “Come in!” Then a hare, a fox, a wolf and a boar. Each time the mitten stretched a little, and everyone made room.
Last of all came a bear: “May I warm up too?” The animals looked at each other and said, “Come in, we’ll squeeze up somehow.”
They all snuggled close, and it was so warm inside the mitten that nobody felt cold at all.
In the morning Grandpa came back for his mitten, and the animals said thank you and ran home to their burrows. Good night, Ani.
