Once upon a time in a jungle, there lived six friends - an elephant, a monkey, a tortoise, a giraffe, a pangolin and an okapi. They all loved to play together but were very different from each other. One day, the elephant suggested they have a race. The monkey was quick and agile, the tortoise slow but steady, the giraffe tall and fast, the pangolin was good at rolling, the okapi was good at jumping and the elephant was strong. They all agreed and started the race. They ran, rolled, and jumped through the jungle, each using their unique talents. In the end, the tortoise won the race because it never gave up and kept moving forward. The friends learned that everyone has special skills and it's important to appreciate each other's strengths. The end.

Reflections

1. Who won the race in the story and why?
2. What did the friends learn about each other during the race?
3. Which animal do you think would win in a real race and why?
4. Can you think of a time when you worked with others who were very different from you?
5. What did you learn from that experience?
