In a land far, far away,
Where the sun shines every day,
Lived a group of animals,
Who were always joyful and playful.

One day, a new animal came,
And to everyone he seemed strange,
He was religious and quite refined,
And his manners were always kind.

But the other animals were rude,
They didn't like this new dude,
They thought he was too quiet,
And they didn't find him very excited.

But the new animal was respectful,
And his ways were always tactful,
He never got angry or savage,
Instead, he always remained relaxed.

Soon, the other animals saw,
That the new animal had a good core,
And they began to understand,
That his ways were not so bland.

They learned to appreciate his religion,
And they saw his refinement as a great mission,
They understood the power of being respectful,
And they too became more peaceful and tactful.

So the land became a better place,
And all the animals lived with grace,
Thanks to the lessons they learned,
From the new animal who came and turned.

Reflections

1. How did the other animals feel about the new animal at first?
2. What made the new animal different from the other animals?
3. What did the new animal teach the other animals?
4. How did the other animals change throughout the story?
5. Why do you think it's important to be respectful and kind to others, even if they are different from us?
