Once there was a Gorilla named George who loved to jump and play. One day, while playing in the jungle, he stumbled upon a hot hat lying on the ground. He picked it up, put it on his head and jumped around, feeling very silly. Suddenly, a Fish swam by and said, "Hey George, that hat is not for gorillas, it's for Jellyfish!" George didn't believe the fish, so he asked for proof. The Fish took George to the water where a bunch of Jellyfish were wearing hats, and one of them was wearing the same hat! George was tickled pink and decided to join in the fun. They all started jumping and twirling, and before long, a bunch of Flowers and Grapes appeared and joined in the fun too! Everyone was having a hot and hilarious time, jumping and jiving to the beat of their own drum. And from that day forward, George never jumped without a hat on his head, and he always remembered to have a good time with his friends, no matter what they looked like.
