Once upon a time, in a jungle lived a lizard who loved to play pranks on his friends - a monkey, horse, sheep, goat, mouse, and a hippo. One day, the lizard convinced them all to switch their homes for a day just for fun. The monkey climbed up to the treetops, the horse galloped into the meadow, the sheep hopped into the barn, the goat climbed up the mountain, the mouse scurried into the cheese factory, and the hippo plopped into the waterhole. But when it was time to switch back, they all were so comfortable in their new surroundings that they couldn't decide where to call home! So they decided to live in each other's homes and have a big jungle party every night, with different hosts each time. They lived happily ever after, always surprising each other with their new homes. The end.

Reflections

• Who was the first one to suggest the home swap?
• What did each animal do in their new home?
• Why did they decide to switch homes?
• How did they feel about living in different homes?
• What did they learn from this experience?
