Once upon a time, in a far-off jungle, all the animals were getting ready for a big party. The polar bear, bear, eagle, panda, owl, parrot, monkey, bird, lion, and elephant were all invited. The polar bear was in charge of bringing the refreshments, but he got lost on the way.

Just then, an eagle spotted him and offered to help. Together, they flew to the party with the refreshments, but they accidentally dropped them in a river. A wise old owl suggested they go underwater to retrieve them.

The panda, being an expert swimmer, offered to help. So, the polar bear, eagle, and panda dived into the river and retrieved the refreshments. When they arrived at the party, the parrot announced them with a loud squawk, "Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the heroes of the day: Polar Bear, Eagle, and Panda!"

The monkey and bird cheered and clapped, while the lion and elephant cheered with a roar and trumpet. The party was a huge success, and everyone had a great time. From that day on, the polar bear, eagle, and panda were known as the best party animals in the jungle.

The end.
