Once upon a time in a land far away,
There was a swamp where the creatures play.
It was home to many, big and small,
From slimy to furry, it had them all.

The swamp had a source, a river so clear,
A tributary that flowed year after year.
It started down south and meandered through,
Bringing life to the swamp, oh so true.

A strait in the swamp was a tricky place,
A narrow passage, a challenging race.
But the creatures all knew how to cross,
For the swamp was their home, their boss.

The swamp was their territory, their land,
A place so special, so grand.
It taught them to live in harmony,
And cherish the beauty that they see.

So come, little ones, and explore with glee,
The wonders of the swamp, just like me.
Let's learn about its source, its tributary,
And the creatures that call it their sanctuary.

Reflections

Here are a few questions to ask kids to think about the story:

1. What are some of the different creatures that live in the enchanted swamp?
2. Why is the tributary important to the swamp and its inhabitants?
3. What is the strait in the swamp, and why is it a tricky place for the creatures to cross?
4. How do the creatures in the swamp live in harmony with nature?
5. What can we learn from the creatures in the enchanted swamp about taking care of our own environment?
