Once upon a time, in a land far away,
There were some little creatures who loved to play.
They were all so different, yet similar too,
And they all had their own version of what to do.

One day they went out on a big adventure,
To see what they could find and discover.
But as they journeyed through the forest so green,
One little creature became quite sorrowful and keen.

"I'm tired and hungry," he sadly cried,
"I think it's time for us to rest and abide."
The others grew exasperated and wanted to push on,
But they knew they had to adjust and help their friend along.

So they found a spot to sit and rest,
And soon their little friend felt his very best.
They continued on their journey, through sun and rain,
Knowing that working together would bring them gain.

And when they finally reached their destination,
They knew that it was worth the whole sensation.
For they had learned to work together, no matter what,
And that's what true friendship is all about.

1. What did the little creatures learn on their journey?
2. Why did the little creature become sorrowful and how did his friends help him?
3. Why is it important to work together and adjust to help our friends?
4. How did the little creatures show friendship and teamwork throughout the story?
