In a land far away, full of adventure and fun,
There was a jungle where a jellyfish had just begun,
To jump and jive with all her might,
As she explored with all her sight.

In her jug, she carried some juice,
And a jigsaw puzzle, which was her favorite muse,
She loved to solve it under the tree,
While she sipped on her juice with glee.

One day, she met a monkey in a jacket and jeans,
Who was trying to find his way through the greens,
He saw her puzzle and asked for help,
And together they solved it with a yelp.

They then found a jar of sweet strawberry jam,
And enjoyed it with bread and some ham,
As they explored the jungle together,
Their bond grew stronger, it was a tether.

So, the jellyfish and monkey went on to have more fun,
In the jungle that was full of adventures, not just one,
They learned to help each other out,
And that's what friendship is all about!

Reflections

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

1. Who are the main characters in the poem, and what are they doing in the jungle?
2. What does the jellyfish carry in her jug, and what is her favorite thing to do with it?
3. How do the jellyfish and monkey become friends, and what do they do together?
4. What is the message or moral of the poem, and what can we learn from the friendship between the jellyfish and monkey?
5. If you could visit the jungle and befriend an animal, which animal would you choose and why?
