Lulu the Llama and the Whispering Hill

Lulu the llama chatters so happily that instructions, warnings and her friend Dilly's confessions all slip past her, and everything keeps going wrong.

Listening

In a breezy mountain pasture called Woolgather Hill, there lived a young llama named Lulu. Lulu had a fluffy cream coat, long curling eyelashes, and a head full of thoughts she couldn't wait to share.

"Guess what I saw today!" she would begin. "A cloud shaped like a sock! And my cousin has a new hat! And I think it might rain, or maybe not, and..."

Her friends loved her bright spirit, but they could rarely finish a sentence around her.

When Mama Llama said, "Lulu, please bring in the washing before the storm," Lulu was too busy chattering about clouds to hear. The washing got soaked.

When her teacher explained how to cross the stream safely, Lulu was whispering to her neighbor. At the stream, she stepped on a slippery stone and splashed into the water.

And when her friend Dilly the goat said, "Lulu, I need to tell you something," Lulu was already halfway through a story about her hat. Dilly sighed and wandered away.
