Once upon a time, there was a horse named Hopper who loved to jump. One day, while on a walk, he met a chimp named Chimpy who was dancing.

"Hey Chimpy, can I join in your dance?" asked Hopper.

"Of course!" replied Chimpy, and they danced together.

Suddenly, a bird flew by and joined in the dance. Then a fish jumped out of the pond and started wiggling. A frog hopped over and started croaking along with the music.

The horse, chimp, bird, fish and frog had so much fun dancing together that they decided to form a dance troupe. They traveled from town to town, putting on shows and making people smile.

And that's how the Horse-Chimp-Bird-Fish-Frog Dance Troupe was born!
