Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a skunk named Skunky. Skunky loved to dance and play funky tunes. One day, he found a big chunk of junk lying near the river. He decided to use the junk to build a bunk bed for himself. But, when he was building the bunk bed, it suddenly sunk into the river. Skunky tried everything to get the bunk bed out, but he failed and flunked. He was so sad, that he went to sleep on a tree trunk. The next day, some kind-hearted animals helped Skunky rebuild his bunk bed, and he finally succeeded. From then on, Skunky danced and played his funk music on his new bunk bed every day. The end.

3. Who helped Skunky rebuild his bunk bed?
4. How did Skunky feel when his bunk bed sank into the river?
5. Why was Skunky happy at the end of the story?
