Once upon a time, there was a dog who lived in the African savanna. One day, while he was playing with his friends, a skunk came along and sprayed him with its smelly spray. The dog ran away as fast as he could, but he didn't get far before he ran into a rhinoceros.
The rhinoceros started to chase the dog, but the dog was too fast and managed to escape. He then ran into a cheetah who was hunting a gazelle. The cheetah offered to help the dog, but only if the dog would help catch the gazelle.
So, the dog and the cheetah worked together to catch the gazelle. After they caught it, the cheetah let the dog have some of the gazelle to eat. The dog was so grateful that he decided to stay in the savanna forever.
One day, the dog met a turtle who was moving very slowly. The dog asked the turtle why it was moving so slowly, and the turtle replied that it was because it was cold.
The dog then remembered that he had seen a polar bear in the area and knew that the turtle would be safer if it went to the Arctic where the polar bear lived. So, the dog and the turtle set off on an adventure to find the polar bear.
Along the way, they met a squirrel who asked if they needed any help. The dog told the squirrel about their mission, and the squirrel offered to lead the way. When they finally found the polar bear, the polar bear welcomed the turtle with open arms and promised to keep it warm and safe.
And that's the story of the dog, the skunk, the rhinoceros, the cheetah, the gazelle, the turtle, the polar bear, and the squirrel, who all became friends and lived happily ever after.

1. Why did the dog run away from the skunk?
2. What did the cheetah offer to the dog in exchange for its help?
3. Why did the turtle want to go to the Arctic?
4. How did the dog and turtle find the polar bear?
5. Who became friends at the end of the story and why?
