Lola the Llama

Lola the Llama

My name is Lola the llama. I live with Sofia in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Llamas are known for being stubborn, and I'm as stubborn as they come. No one tells me what to do!

One day, Sofia wanted to ride down to the village. She saddled me up and climbed onto my back. I dropped down to the ground. She tugged on the reins, but I wouldn't budge.

She left and came back with a treat-a carrot! “ Please, Lola, " she begged. " Come on! " She tried to use the carrot to lead me down the mountain, but I had other plans.

Instead of going down the mountain, I turned around and climbed even higher. I dragged Sofia along behind me.

Once I stopped, Sofia reached into her cloth sack. “ Take me down to the village, " she said, " and I'll give you an apple! "
