Once upon a time, there were six little friends,
Each one with their own cute features to blend.

There was a kitten, soft and playful with fur,
With whiskers that twitched and eyes that would purr.

There was a chick, so small and full of cheer,
Chirping away, spreading joy far and near.

There was a calf, strong and big with a heart of gold,
Grazing and playing, as nature had told.

There was a puppy, full of wags and barks,
Bringing laughter and love with every bark.

There was a foal, with legs long and slender,
Galloping and playing, always a wonder.

And last but not least, a cub, full of glee,
Roaring and playing, for all to see.

So let's learn from these friends, young and old,
To be kind, playful, and brave, as we grow bold!
