William Everett কুম্ভীর lived on the banks of the River Nile with his mama.
One দিন Mama said, "William Everett, now that আপনি have nice কুম্ভীর teeth, we must go to Mr. Hippo's store and get আপনি a toothbrush before আপনি start school tomorrow."
William Everett liked Mr. Hippo's store because it was full of things. He and Mama walked up one aisle and down another.
They stopped in front of the toothbrush counter. "You may choose your own toothbrush, William Everett," Mama said.
William Everett looked and looked.
"Hi!" ব্যক্ত a toothbrush. "What's your name?"
"My name's William Everett. What's yours?"
"Pete," ব্যক্ত the toothbrush.
"I found the toothbrush I want, Mama," ব্যক্ত William Everett. "His name is Pete."
"Good," ব্যক্ত Mama. "We can go প্রথমপাতা now."
So Pete became William Everett's toothbrush.
And his best friend, too.
The পরবর্তি morning Mama said, "William Everett, wake up. It's time to go to school."
"Oh, Mama," William Everett said. "I can't wait to read and write and learn all about কুম্ভীর history."
"Someday, I will be proud of you, William Everett," Mama said.
"Now, class," ব্যক্ত Ms. Ibis. "Today, we are going to learn the alphabet. Then we will be able to write our names. Now, repeat after me...."
The little crocodiles repeated after Ms. Ibis.
"A-B-C-D-E-F-G...."
They ব্যক্ত the whole alphabet.
They ব্যক্ত the letters over and over again until they knew all of them দ্বারা heart.
"Well, William Everett," ব্যক্ত Mama. "What did আপনি learn in school today?"
"William Everett, say the alphabet," ব্যক্ত Pete. William Everett ব্যক্ত every letter without a mistake.
"Oh, William Everett," Mama said. "That was beautiful."
The পরবর্তি day, Ms. দোচরা taught the class how to write all the letters.
The little crocodiles wrote the letters over and over until they could write them দ্বারা heart.
"And what did আপনি learn today, William Everett?" Mama asked.
"William Everett, write the letters," ব্যক্ত Pete.
William Everett wrote every letter without one mistake.
"You're so smart, William Everett," Mama said. "Someday, আপনি will be famous."
"Today, class, we are going to write our names," ব্যক্ত Ms. Ibis.
She showed all the little crocodiles just what letters each one had in his অথবা her name.
They wrote and wrote and wrote and smiled and smiled and smiled.
The letters spelled out: Sam-Jane-John-Kay-Kate-Tom-Amy...
They all wrote and smiled some more.
All except William Everett. He had so many letters in his name that he kept forgetting at least one of them.
Poor William Everett.
Big tears ran down his nose.
"Is something wrong, William Everett?" Pete asked.
"I'll never learn how to write my name," he cried. "It has too many letters."
"Now, now, William Everett," ব্যক্ত Pete. "I think I can help আপনি to write your name and not forget any letters."
He took a pencil and wrote.
"Did আপনি learn something today, William Everett?" asked Mama.
"Yes, Mama, I learned to write my name," ব্যক্ত William Everett.
"Oh, Bill." Mama beamed.
One Saturday, when there was no school, Bill and Pete went down to the River Nile and sat on the bank in the sun. A man on a bicycle went riding by.
Behind the bicycle were cages filled with crocodiles.
"I wonder what that's all about?" ব্যক্ত Bill.
"That's the Bad Guy, and those crocodiles are on their way to Cairo-to become suitcases," ব্যক্ত an old কুম্ভীর swimming by. "Watch out he doesn't catch you!"
But he did. The very পরবর্তি Saturday.
Bill and Pete were fishing and they didn't hear the Bad Guy creep up behind them.
The Bad Guy lassoed Bill and put him in a cage. He didn't pay attention to Pete.
Pete tried to peck the Bad Guy, but Pete was just too small.
Poor Bill!
He was on his way to Cairo.
All he could think about was suitcases.
ব্রেভ Pete!
He stayed close to his friend.
The Bad Guy put Bill in his garden and went into the house.
"Run me a nice hot tub, Jeeves," the Bad Guy ব্যক্ত to his butler. "I will take a bath before dinner. I got me another কুম্ভীর today and I need a nap. Call me when the bath is ready."
"Tomorrow that কুম্ভীর becomes a suitcase," he added.
"Not if I have anything to say about it," ব্যক্ত Pete. "I'm আরো than JUST a toothbrush."
And Pete picked the lock with his beak.
"Quick, Bill. Let's get out of here," ব্যক্ত Pete.
"No, I'm mad!" ব্যক্ত Bill. "I'm going to make sure there are no আরো কুম্ভীর suitcases."
Bill climbed the wall.
He crept through the living room into the bathroom.
"Your bath is ready, sir," ব্যক্ত Jeeves.
And there was Bill, right with the rubber ducky.
The Bad Guy jumped out of the window and didn't stop running all the way to Cairo.
"Oh, look, a nice dinner," ব্যক্ত Pete.
"And am I hungry," ব্যক্ত Bill.
"Mama, আপনি don't have to cook ডিনার for us tonight," Bill ব্যক্ত when they got home. And he told her what had happened.
"Oh, Bill. Oh, Pete," Mama exclaimed. "What an adventure. I am so proud of the two of you."
