Eager to join in, Zakadam tries to copy the moves from ostriches, manakin birds, rifle birds, spiders, and a distant sage grous. Each friend stays focused on dancing and does not answer Zakadam’s greetings or questions. Through repeated attempts, Zakadam learns an important lesson about his own limits while watching others dance.","Zakadam can’t dance  \nAuthor: Maria Da’adosh  \nIllustrator: Mai El-wakeel  \nEnglish  \nZakadam can’t dance  \nWritten by Maria Daadouch.  \nImages by May El-Wakeel. © Asafeer Education Technologies FZ LLC, 2018.

Mama and Papa blue footed boobies named him Zakadam.  \nThey were so happy, so they celebrated his birth with a dance. Zakadam tried to copy them but the Baby booby can’t dance. Zakadam passed by an ostrich and said: “hello!”, but the ostrich didn’t reply.  \nIt was too busy dancing. Zakadam tried to do the same, but he can’t dance.  \nZakadam met the red headed manakin bird and said:“How are you?” But the red headed manakin bird didn’t reply. It was too busy dancing. Zakadam tried to do the same, but he can’t dance.  \nZakadam passed under a tree and saw a rifle bird on one of its branches. He yelled: “What’s your name?”But rifle bird didn’t reply. It was too busy dancing. Zakadam tried to do the same, but he can’t dance.  \nZakadam glimpsed a spider near a rock. He asked:“Would you like to play?” But spider didn’t reply. It was too busy dancing. Zakadam tried to do the same, but he can’t dance.  \nFrom a distance Zakadam saw a Sage Grous. He asked him: “What are you doing?” But the Sage Grous didn’t reply. It was too busy dancing. Zakadam tried to do the same, but he can’t dance.","cbCaibXidtz43eYJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibXidtz43eYJ","pdf",825491,19,"English","en",105,"# Zakadam’s birth and family dance\n## Trying to dance with other birds\n## Asking friends why they won’t reply","[{\"question\":\"Who is Zakadam, and how does the story begin?\",\"answer\":\"Zakadam is a baby blue-footed booby hatched from an egg.
