Once upon a time, there was a fish that lived in a pond. One day, a frog jumped in and challenged the fish to a jumping contest. The horse that lived nearby overheard and wanted to join in too. Meanwhile, a bird was flying overhead and saw all the commotion. The bird decided to join in on the fun as well. Last but not least, a chimp came swinging by and wanted to join in on the jumping contest. The contest began and the fish, frog, horse, bird, and chimp all took turns jumping. In the end, the chimp won because he could jump the highest. The end.

Reflections

• Who won the jumping contest?
• Who else participated in the contest besides the chimp?
• Why do you think the chimp was able to jump the highest?
• Do you think that you could win a jumping contest like this one?
• How do you think the other animals felt about the chimp winning the contest?
