The Purim Gruffalo (TROFOTI)
Noam wanted to be Gruffalo (TROFOTI in the Hebrew translation) for Purim this year.
A mouse is taking a stroll through the deep, dark wood when along comes a hungry fox, then an owl, and then a snake. The mouse is good enough to eat but smart enough to know this, so he invents . . . the gruffalo! As Mouse explains, the gruffalo is a creature with terrible claws, and terrible tusks in its terrible jaws, and knobbly knees and turned-out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of its nose. But Mouse has no worry to show. After all, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo. . . .It is one of the most wonderful children books with a very clever plot, definitely recommended for any child.
"... But who is this creature with terrible claws
And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws?
He has knobbly knees, and turned-out toes,
And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose.
His eyes are orange, his tongue is black,
He has purple prickles all over his back."
and here is the "real" thing:
The Gruffalo, a.k.a. TROFOTI (or is it TFOROTI?)
"A gruffalo! Why, didn't you know?
He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws,
And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws."
And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose."
He has purple prickles all over his back."
If you don't know the Gruffalo, then here's the full story:
