The story is presented in English and was reformatted for Bloom by Cara Ediger. It originates from the Paleng Children’s Centre and is published under the African StoryBook Initiative, with copyright held by Saide in 2015. The terms of use are generous, allowing for commercial use, adaptation, and distribution under the same or a similar license, provided the copyright and credits are maintained. The narrative unfolds with a series of whimsical characters and events: Khotso rides a blue donkey, and they share meals together. Grandmother Thabo is depicted cooking in a black pot, sharing her meal with her cat. Neo's cow, described as green as grass, stands on her foot, causing her to drop her bucket of milk. Ntate Phakane owns a strong black horse that pulls a plough independently. Thabang drives his car with his dog, who subsequently poops in the car. The story culminates in a highly improbable scenario where the blue donkey, the green cow, the black horse, and Grandmother's cat all enter Ntate Thabang’s car and begin to sing, posing a question to the reader about who possesses the sweetest voice. The illustrations, also by Khothatso Ranoosi, likely complement the lighthearted and imaginative tone of the text. The initiative behind this story emphasizes accessibility and creative sharing within children's educational and cultural centers, encouraging engagement and participation through platforms like Facebook.","Funny Story  \nWriter: Khothatso Ranoosi Illustration: Khothatso Ranoosi Translated By: Khothatso Ranoosi and Marion Drew  \nEnglish Story Book  \nFunny Story  \nWriter: Khothatso Ranoosi Illustration: Khothatso Ranoosi Translated By: Khothatso Ranoosi and Marion Drew Reformatted for Bloom By: Cara Ediger  \nEnglish  \nFunny story Writer: Khothatso Ranoosi  \nIllustration: Khothatso Ranoosi  \nTranslated By: Khothatso Ranoosi and Marion Drew  \nLanguage: English  \nThis story was created in Paleng Children’s Centre, Please go to our FaceBook page,‘Paleng’.  \nSaide, South African Institute for Distance Education [www.africanstorybook.org](www.africanstorybook.org)  \nA Saide Initiative  \nCopyright © 2015, African StoryBook Initiative  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.
