Once upon a time, there was a horse named Horsey who lived in a great big meadow. One day, Horsey met a mouse named Mickey who wanted to join him on an adventure. Horsey agreed and off they went.

As they were walking, they stumbled upon a monkey named Mokey hanging from a tree. Mokey asked to join them and Horsey and Mickey said yes.

Along the way, they ran into a hippopotamus named Hippi who was feeling sad because she had lost her way back to the river. Horsey, Mickey, and Mokey offered to help Hippi find her way back to the river.

Along the way, they encountered a lizard named Lizzie who was trying to catch a goat named G. Horsey, Mickey, Mokey, and Hippi made a plan to distract G while Lizzie caught him.

The plan worked and Lizzie caught G. But then, G started to cry and they all felt bad. So, they all decided to bring G with them to the river and have a picnic.

At the river, they had a great time eating, playing and swimming. Hippi was so happy to be back at the river that she decided to stay. And so, Horsey, Mickey, Mokey, Lizzie, and G all became best friends and went on many more adventures together. The end!
