Once upon a time, in a jungle lived a bunch of friends: a giraffe named Stretch, a crocodile named Snap, a zebra named Stripes, a tiger named Tawny, a snake named Slither, a hippo named Hump, a bear named Bruin and a monkey named Mokey. They loved to play together and have fun.
One day they decided to have a picnic. They packed some sweet fruits and yummy treats and set off to the meadow. As they were having their feast, they saw a big storm coming. They quickly gathered all their food and ran for cover.
But then, something strange happened. The storm clouds started to change shape, and soon they saw that it was actually a group of mischievous monkeys playing a trick on them! The friends laughed and joined in the fun, playing and chasing each other in the rain.
After the storm, they continued with their picnic, now even more lively and joyful. They all agreed that it was the best picnic ever and vowed to have many more in the future.
The end.
