Author: Ley Sorya

Illustrator: Try Samphors

Translator: Sanjana Khoobchandani

Rat loves to play outside.

Today he wants to play Moek (hopscotch), but there is nobody to play with.

“ I have an idea, ” he thinks.

“ I'll invite Goat, my neighbour. ”

Goat likes to spend time alone, fishing and napping.

Rat goes to Goat's house and knocks on the door. Tok Tok!

“Brother Goat!” Rat exclaims. “Come play with me!”

“No, no!” Goat says. “I need to sleep. I don't want to play.”

“Please, Goat,” Rat replies.

“Play with me. We will have fun together.”

Finally, Goat agrees.

“Okay, okay,“ Goat says. “I will play with you.”

Goat and Rat play hopscotch together.

Goat has lots of fun playing with Rat.

He decides that next time, he will jump out of bed to play.
