Text and Images from Bheema The Sleepy Head
Bheema loves to sleep and just cannot get up early.
Ramu, the washerman, scolds Bheema often.
One day, Gauri, the cow, asked him, “Bheema, why are you so sad?”
Bheema said, “I cannot get up early and Ramu shouts at me every day. Will you wake me up every morning, please?” “Yes, I will, ” said Gauri. Early next morning, Gauri mooed loudly, but Bheema did not wake up.
Coming back from the river in the evening, Bheema met Moti, the dog.
“I can never get up in the morning on time. Will you wake me up?” Bheema asked Moti.
“Yes, I will, ” said Moti and the next morning he barked and barked but did Bheema wake up? No Sir!
That evening Bheema met Cheenu, the rooster.
He said to Cheenu, “You crow in the morning and everybody wakes up. Will you wake me up too?”
Cheenu agreed. The next morning, Cheenu crowed long and loud, but Bheema did not wake up.
