Once upon a time in the jungle, a baby was playing with his favorite toys. Suddenly, he saw a bear and ran to him, hoping to make a new friend. But, the bear was busy eating a banana. The baby wanted to try some too but the bear growled, "These bananas are mine!"

Just then, an alligator appeared from the nearby river. He was very hungry and asked the bear for a share of his bananas. The bear refused and the alligator got angry. He chased the bear away and the baby followed them.

The alligator saw the baby and thought he could eat him for lunch, but the baby showed him a book he had brought with him. The alligator was curious and started to read the book. It was about cookies, and he loved cookies! The baby gave him a cookie and the alligator became the baby's friend.

Together, they went on a car ride, searching for more cookies. They saw an ant carrying an apple and asked him if he knew where they could find any cookies. The ant said, "Follow me." So, they followed the ant and he led them to a bed full of cookies!

The baby, the bear, the alligator, and the ant cut the cookies into pieces and shared them. They became the best of friends and lived happily ever after, traveling the jungle and finding new adventures.
