A lamp in the dark, shining so bright
A leaf on a tree, swaying with delight
A mango on a branch, juicy and sweet
A monkey up high, swinging with its feet

A lemon so yellow, sour and bright
A lion so strong, with a mighty bite
A mother so loving, kind and true
A mouse so tiny, cute and small too

Together they dance, in a wild and free world
Each with a place, each with a story to be told
So let us embrace, the beauty that surrounds
And cherish the love, that nature has found.

5. What do you think the lamp symbolizes in the story?
6. What do you think the leaf, lemon, and lion have in common?
7. What do you think the monkey represents in the story?
8. Can you come up with another animal to add to the story and why?
