The Little Lost Bantha Cub
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Little Lost Bantha Cub was a children's story favored by Jaina, Jacen and Anakin Solo, usually presented by C-3PO. However, the children preferred the story when read by their father, Han Solo.
[edit] Text
- After the sandstorm that drove him from home, the little lost bantha cub wandered alone.
- So he walked, and he walked through the desert heat till noon, when he found a Jawa sandcrawler upon a sandy dune.
- 'I am lost,' said the bantha cub, 'please help me find my herd,' but the little Jawas shook their heads and gave their final word.
- So he walked, and he walked till he met a shiny droid. After by himself so long the cub was overjoyed.
- 'I am lost,' said the bantha cub, 'please help me find my herd.' 'I am not programmed to help you,' said the droid, 'Don't be absurd' .
- The droid kept walking straight ahead, not looking left or right; the bantha cub just watched until the droid went out of sight.
The cub's adventures continue with an encounter with a moisture farmer and a Krayt dragon.
- 'I will eat you,' purred the dragon, then he lunged with snapping jaws! So the bantha cub ran without the slightest pause.
The cub then finds a tribe of Sandpeople who reunite him with his parents and his herd.
