Once upon a time, in a land far away
Lived a group of animals, who loved to play
They roamed the forest, day and night
And lived their lives with all their might

One day, the sun shone bright and clear
And the animals knew, it was time to cheer
They adorned themselves with flowers and leaves
And danced around, with joy up their sleeves

Suddenly, the sky turned dark and grey
The wind blew abruptly, and the animals did sway
They knew it was time to find some shelter
And escape the stormy weather helter-skelter

For hours they roamed, through the grueling rain
Till they found a cave, that could keep them sane
They instinctively huddled together
And shared warmth, like birds of a feather

As the storm began to extinguish its rage
The animals slowly, stepped out of their cage
They realized that in moments of grief
Together they could overcome, any misbelief

Their spirits lifted, they started to play
And the brief moment of fear, had passed away
The memory of the storm began to diminish
As they knew that together, they could always finish

So, dear children, like these animals in the wild
If you face a stormy weather, and feel beguiled
Remember to don the strength of togetherness
And with love and support, you'll overcome any distress.

Reflections

Here are a few questions that kids can think about related to the story:

1. How did the animals prepare for the storm?
2. How did the animals react when the storm suddenly hit them?
3. How did the animals instinctively know to huddle together for warmth?
4. What did the animals learn about the power of togetherness during the storm?
5. What can we learn from the animals in the story about facing challenges with the help of others?
