In the tropical rainforest, near the equator's line,
There's a symphony of creatures, both big and small and fine.
But there are pesky insects, like mosquitoes, that bite,
So let's wear some insect repellent, to keep them out of sight.

On the terrace, we'll enjoy some fruits, grown from the land,
Like manioc, plantain, and more, all so grand.
And look! Over there, in the distance, see the stilts?
They're moving gracefully, with their big, long legs and built.

The rainforest is full of wonders, both high and low,
With flora and fauna that continually grow.
But we must be careful, as we explore and roam,
To keep the rainforest, its beauty and life, our home.

Reflections

1. What types of fruits did the explorers find on the terrace?
2. What did the explorers use to protect themselves from mosquitoes and other insects?
3. Can you describe the sound of the symphony of creatures the explorers heard in the rainforest?
4. What did the stilts look like, and how did they move?
5. Why is it important to be careful when exploring and roaming in the rainforest?
