Once upon a time, there was a group of colonists who wanted to set sail on a grand voyage to the New World. They had a fleet of ships, but one day the channel got clogged with jellyfish! The colonists were stuck and didn't know what to do.

Just then, a clever young colonist named Pippin had an idea. He suggested that they use their ships as a giant strainer to clear the channel. With much laughter and cheer, the colonists ventured forth and strained the channel until it was clear.

Finally, they continued their voyage and landed in the New World, where they started a settlement. The colony became known as "Jellyfish Strainerville" and they lived happily ever after, always remembering the funny and creative journey that brought them there.

• What was the problem the colonists faced in the story?
• How did the colonists solve the problem?
• What did they name their settlement in the New World?
• What do you think would have happened if Pippin didn't have an idea about straining the channel?
• Why do you think the colonists named their settlement "Jellyfish Strainerville"?
