Munni, the Lamb

Author: Chayadatta Nyupane

Illustrator: Promina Shreshtha

Translator: Alisha Berger

The mother goat

gave birth to two new kids.

One called Mane,

the other called Muni.

The pair was so cute!

Their eyes are sweet and small,

their legs so sleek.

Their faces are narrow,

their tails quick to wag.

Listen to Muni,

how she bleats loudly.

She calls her mother,

to come and be by her side.

Look at Muni

playing with her mother!

She hops left and right,

she leaps and frolics.

Mother goat bleats,

as her kids run away. “Go to your friends and play!” is what she means to say.

The new kids are jolly,

skipping out for the day.

As they run all around,

where has Muni gone?

Now M ane and Muni play!

Look how they frolic together.

They eat grass and weeds,

returning home later.

Oh no, Muni,

do not eat my clothes!

You are learning so quickly,

But do not munch on those!

Let’s now skip home quickly,

with our new goat friends!

Hooray for Muni and Mane,

as they sing, dance, and enjoy the world!
