Zuzu's new friends


It was a beautiful morning, but Zuzu was so sad! She missed (özlemek) her friends. She could not leave (o gidemedi ) the courtyard (avlu) to visit (ziyaret etmek) them. Nani came out of the house to sit with her. "Did you know," said Nani, "that the wind (rüzgâr) is a friend?"
     "How can the wind be a friend," asked Zuzu?
     "Every day it comes to kiss (
öpmek) your face!" laughed Nani. "That is a good friend, Yes?"
     Zuzu smiled.
     "The sky and clouds (
gökyüzü ve bulutlar) are your friends too," said Nani. "They paint (boyamak) pictures for you."

Nani showed Zuzu a flower with a caterpillar (tırtıl) on it. "Look," said Nani, "here is a friend!  He's an acrobat (akrobat). He is doing tricks (hileler) for you so you will laugh (gülmek). Zuzu, you have so many friends!  They are all around you. Before it is time for dinner, see how many friends you can find (bulmak) and then come tell me."
     "O.K." said Zuzu, smiling.

     Now it's YOUR turn!  How many friends can YOU find in your courtyard (
avlu)?  How many can you find looking out your window?
