Once upon a time in the Arctic, there lived a friendly polar bear named Bubbles. Bubbles loved to play with his animal friends in the tundra, including his best friend, a playful dog named Max.

One day, while Bubbles and Max were out for a walk, they came across a group of gazelles grazing in the grass. The gazelles were so fast and graceful, and Bubbles couldn't help but admire them.

As they continued on their walk, they saw a cute little squirrel scurrying up a tree. The squirrel, who's name was Whiskers, greeted them and invited them to come and play in his tree.

As they were playing, they heard a strange noise. It was a skunk! But, it was not just any skunk. It was a skunk who was in trouble. His name was Pepe and he was stuck in a trap. Bubbles, Max, Whiskers, and the gazelles worked together to help Pepe out of the trap. Pepe was so grateful, he sprayed a special smell that smelt like roses.

After their adventure, the group came across a wise old turtle named Sheldon. Sheldon shared with them that he had seen a cheetah chasing a rhinoceros nearby and they needed to be careful. The group thanked Sheldon for the warning and continued on their way back home.

From that day on, Bubbles, Max, Whiskers, the gazelles, Pepe, and Sheldon all became the best of friends and had many more exciting adventures together.

3. What happened to Pepe and how did the group help him?
4. Who did the group meet before they went home and what did they learn from him?
