Once upon a time, there was a grape who fancied itself as a flower. It loved to jump and play with the jellyfish in the ocean. One day, a gorilla came along and wanted to join in on the fun. The grape and jellyfish welcomed the gorilla with open arms.

As they were playing, a hot fish swam by and offered them all a ride on its back. The grape, jellyfish, and gorilla happily accepted and they all set off on an adventure.

Along the way, the hot fish told them all about a magical hat that granted wishes. The grape, jellyfish, and gorilla were very excited and asked the hot fish where they could find this hat.

The hot fish pointed to a distant island and said, “The hat is on that island, but be careful, for it is guarded by a fierce dragon.”

The grape, jellyfish, and gorilla were not afraid and they jumped off the hot fish’s back and set off to find the hat. When they finally found the hat, the dragon was fast asleep, snoring loudly.

The grape, jellyfish, and gorilla tiptoed past the dragon, grabbed the hat, and made their wishes. The grape wished to be the most beautiful flower in the world, the jellyfish wished to be the fastest swimmer in the ocean, and the gorilla wished to be the strongest animal in the jungle.

Their wishes came true and they all lived happily ever after, jumping and playing together and spreading happiness wherever they went.
