Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there were four friends: Leo the lion, Ben the bear, Gilly the giraffe, and Ellie the elephant. They all lived together in a big, green jungle and had many adventures.

One day, they decided to go on a safari to explore the other parts of the jungle. Leo, being the bravest of the group, led the way. As they walked, they saw many different animals. They saw monkeys swinging from tree to tree, colorful parrots flying overhead, and even a snake slithering through the grass.

But the most exciting part of their safari was when they came across a group of lions. Leo was so proud to introduce his friends to his family, and the other lions welcomed them with open paws.

Next, they came across a bear cave where Ben was excited to introduce his friends to his family. They were amazed by the size of the cave and the bears inside.

As they continued on their journey, they saw a group of giraffes grazing on some tall trees. Gilly was so happy to see his family and introduce his friends to them.

Finally, they came across a herd of elephants. Ellie was overjoyed to see her family and introduce her friends to them.

After the safari, the four friends returned to their jungle home, tired but happy. They had seen so many new and exciting things, and they were grateful to have each other as friends. They knew that they would always have each other's backs and that they would go on many more adventures together in the future.

The end.

Reflections

1. How do you think Leo felt when he introduced his friends to his family of lions?
2. Why do you think it was important for the friends to have each other on their safari adventure?
3. If you were one of the friends, which animal family would you have been most excited to meet and why?
