Once upon a time, there was a group of Arctic creatures: a polar bear, a walrus, a beluga whale, a narwhal, a penguin, and a reindeer. They all lived together in the same igloo and were the best of friends. One day, they decided to play a game of hide and seek. The polar bear counted while the others hid. When the polar bear finished counting, he couldn't find any of his friends. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from outside. He followed the sound and found his friends riding on a sled pulled by a team of penguins and reindeer. They were all laughing and having a great time! The polar bear was so surprised that he fell over into the snow. But, he quickly got up and joined in the fun. From that day on, they all took turns playing the role of the sled-puller, and they had many more fun adventures together. The end.
