Upside-down World
Ferdi lived far away in Africa. He was a big fruit-bat.
Now Ferdi really believed that the whole world， and everything in it， was upside-down. Often he would say to his friend Kiki the monkey， “Why do you always stand on your head， you silly creature？”
And Kiki would reply， “It's not me who is silly. You are the one who lives upside-down， Ferdi.”
“What nonsense！” Ferdi would say indignantly， thinking everybody but himself lived upside-down. He even said the trees grew out of the sky； that all the jungle flowers stood on their petals， and whenever it rained， he said it was pouring up！ It was most confusing. If only he had realized that all fruit-bats hang upside-down， it would have been so much easier. His friends tried to explain， but it was no use.
“Really， you are all mistaken，” Ferdi would say firmly. Then he would smile and make some remark about the ground being lovely and blue.
“That's the sky， you silly fruit-bat！” said Kiki， jumping up and down crossly.
“Now then， now then，' said Ferdi， ”don't bang your feet on the sky like that， you are making such a dust！“ That was the last straw - Kiki leapt on to the branch of a tree and twirled himself around it until he had calmed himself.
Poor old Ferdi fruit-bat， until this very day， he still believes the world is upside-down， and he still says： “Look！ The sun is shining up today！” or： “It's very cloudy on the ground！” But he enjoys seeing everything the opposite to us - and you never know， maybe his way is right！
