Gorilla in the jungle, swinging through the trees,
Jumping high and strong, with such great ease.
With a flower in his hand, he dances with delight,
Eating grapes so sweet, in the warm sunlight.

Jellyfish in the ocean, floating in the sea,
With tentacles so wavy, they're oh so free.
Along with all the fish, they swim and play,
In the water so cool, on a hot summer day.

A hat to keep the sun out of your eyes,
And protect your head, as you reach for the skies.
So go ahead and jump, and have some fun,
With all the creatures, under the hot sun.

5. Can you think of another animal that might like to hold a flower?
6. What do you think the grapes taste like?
