Once upon a time, there was a hot summer day and a gorilla was feeling very warm. He decided to jump into a nearby lake to cool off. As he was swimming, he noticed a jellyfish floating by, so he grabbed it and put it on his head like a hat.

The jellyfish was not happy about this and stung the gorilla, causing him to jump out of the water in surprise. As he was jumping, he knocked over a basket of grapes, which spilled all over the place.

Just then, a little fish came swimming by and asked the gorilla what had happened. The gorilla explained that he was just trying to keep cool on this hot day and that the jellyfish had stung him. The fish then suggested that the gorilla try wearing a flower instead of a jellyfish.

The gorilla thought this was a great idea, so he found a big, beautiful flower and put it on his head like a hat. The flower was much more comfortable and the gorilla was finally able to relax and enjoy the rest of his swim.

The end!

Reflections

1. Why was the gorilla feeling hot in the beginning of the story?
2. What did the jellyfish do to the gorilla?
3. What did the little fish suggest the gorilla do instead of wearing a jellyfish?
4. Was the flower a good hat for the gorilla? Why or why not?
