Dance, Mihlali!

Matona Fatman

It is almost time for the big concert at school.
All the children are having fun practising.
But not Mihlali …

She is worried she will forget her dance steps.

“I’ll help you practise at home.”

“I wish this concert would never happen!”

Not a chance! The day of the concert is getting closer…

“Granny has sent you a gift.”

Mihlali is too worried about the concert to open gifts.

Perhaps she should take a look inside.

What great dancing shoes from Granny!

Granny was the
best dancer ever.

Mihlali practises and practises at school…

And at home!
And she dances in her dreams.

Mihlali must rest.
The big concert is tomorrow.

It’s concert day. Mihlali does her dance just right. What great fun!
And surprise! Granny has even come to watch Mihlali dance.

“I danced just like you, Granny.”

“You were amazing!
You are the best dancer I’ve ever seen.”
