Lana the Llama and Shaggy the Sheep loved staying with Grandma the Goat.
Yes, they loved it because they loved her,
and because they could do fun things they weren’t allowed to do at home.
But most of all they loved it because the food was great.
This weekend, she was making her famous sausage roast.
However, there was one thing about the sausage roast Lana hated.
Broccoli.
Yuck!
Loads of broccoli.
And when Lana attempts to hide her broccoli instead of eating it… the situation ends up being a very uncomfortable one indeed.
The story of Lana and her hidden broccoli is one that many children will relate to. It’s less a story about eating your greens and more about the importance of being honest and telling the truth. It’s also about how telling the truth is never as bad or as painful as you think it is going to be. Often, the consequences of telling lies are much less unpleasant than the consequences of telling the truth to begin with.
