Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a crocodile named Crocky. Crocky lived in a swampy area, and loved to eat fish and other small animals. One day, while he was out for a swim, he met an ostrich named Ollie. Ollie was a very fast bird, and could run faster than any other animal in the land. The two of them became fast friends, and decided to go on an adventure together.

As they traveled through the land, they met a panda named Panda. Panda was very shy, and loved to eat bamboo. She joined Crocky and Ollie on their adventure, and together the three of them explored the jungle.

As they were walking, they came across a group of penguins. The penguins were having a great time playing in the snow, but they were a little sad because they were all alone. Crocky, Ollie, and Panda asked the penguins if they wanted to come with them on their adventure, and the penguins eagerly agreed.

As they continued on their journey, they came across a llama named Lulu. Lulu was a very strong animal, and she loved to carry heavy loads. She joined the group, and they all continued on their adventure together.

As they were walking, they saw a kangaroo named Kiki. Kiki was very fast, and could jump higher than any other animal in the land. She was so happy to see her new friends and joined the group.

Finally, they came across a sleepy koala named Koda. Koda was very tired because he had been up all night eating eucalyptus leaves. He was so happy to see his new friends and joined the group.

They all had a great adventure together, and they all became the best of friends. They had a lot of fun exploring the land together, and they never forgot the day they all met.

But when they were returning back, they saw a dangerous animal, a hippopotamus. The group was little scared but Crocky had an idea, he asked Ollie to run as fast as she could, Panda to hide behind the bushes, penguins to swim in the river, Lulu to carry Koda, Kiki to jump as high as she could and he himself tried to scare the hippo with his crocodile roar. And it worked, the hippo ran away, and they were all safe.

From that day on, they all lived happily ever after, and had many more adventures together.

Reflections

1. What was the name of the crocodile in the story and what did he like to eat?
2. How did the group of animals grow as they went on their adventure?
3. What did each animal do to help the group when they encountered the dangerous hippopotamus?
4. How did the group of animals feel at the end of their adventure and what did they do next?
