Once upon a time, there was a hot day in the jungle. All the animals were trying to find ways to cool down. One gorilla had an idea to wear a big hat made of flowers to shade himself from the sun. He was feeling so cool and stylish that he decided to take a walk by the river. As he was walking, he saw a grape vine hanging over the water and reached for it, but as he did, he fell into the river!

He found himself surrounded by fish, jellyfish and even a friendly jellyfish named Jello. But just when he thought he was safe, he realized that he was getting carried away by the current. Suddenly, he remembered he could swim and started jumping up and down in the water to stay afloat.

The other animals who saw him jumped in to help, but they all found themselves in trouble when they started jumping too! Soon, they all formed a chain and jumped together back to the shore. And they lived happily ever after, always remembering to jump when they needed to cool down on hot days!
