THE GECKO
By Léonie and Marine

A long time ago, the Geckos were completely white because their ancestors lived on a snowy mountain.
One day their ancestors crossed the desert to live in the tropical forest.
A little gecko walked in the desert and a horrible spider asked why his body was white. He answered: ”It’s because for several years I lived in a snowy mountain.” The spider was very surprised because she had never seen a white animal before. In the desert, animals are generally orange, brown or red.
The gecko was very frightened in the desert because all the animals could see his white body on the red sand.
The gecko continued to cross the desert… It was very very hot and the sun burnt his back. Little by little the gecko became red all over. He managed to cross the desert without any animals seeing him.
This is why today all geckos are red !
