Lena was a little girl who loved animals more than anything. One day she discovered a centipede named Tobi hiding among the flowers in her garden. Curious, Lena bent down and greeted Tobi in a friendly way. She asked him if he wanted to play with her, but Tobi was sceptical. He had never played with a human before and wasn’t sure if it was a good idea. But Lena assured him that she just wanted to have fun and not hurt him. Finally Tobi agreed and the two of them started playing tag, hide and seek and many other games. Whenever Tobi tried to run, he fell down because of his many legs. Lena laughed at Tobi’s clumsy sliding around, but she still thought he was very nice.
The next day, Lena missed her best friend a lot and was sad. Tobi noticed that Lena was not in the mood to play and asked what was wrong. Lena told him about her friend and how much she missed her since the move. Tobi was sad to hear that Lena must feel this way and wanted to help her. He thought for a long time about what he could do to cheer Lena up.
Finally, an idea came to him. Tobi suggested that they sing a song together. Lena was sceptical at first, but when Tobi started singing, she was thrilled. Tobi’s voice was so deep and rough that Lena thought he sounded like a little lion. Together they sang a funny song about adventures in the jungle and forgot all their worries. Lena was happy that Tobi always had a way to cheer her up and knew that she had found a true friend in him.
Lena and Tobi enjoyed singing songs together and met regularly in the garden. Sometimes they sang about the rain, sometimes about the sun, and sometimes they just sang because they were happy. The other animals in the garden listened to them and enjoyed their songs. One day they joined the duo and started singing along too. Soon the garden was full of happy songs sung by Lena, Tobi and all their friends. The music brought all the animals together and created a wonderful community where everyone was happy.
Lena and Tobi were a mismatched duo, but they had a very special bond with each other. They played, laughed and sang together and had unforgettable experiences. Lena learned from Tobi that it doesn’t matter how many legs you have or how you look, but what’s in our heart. She appreciated Tobi’s kindness and reliability, and Tobi in turn loved Lena’s laughter and curiosity. They were loyal friends to each other and it was obvious that they cared a lot for each other. Lena and Tobi realised that friendship knows no boundaries and that you can make friends if you are only open and curious.
