Once upon a time, in a world far away,
Lived a group of creatures who loved to play.
They were mammals, furry and fun,
And they lived in the forest, under the sun.

Each of them had a gene or two,
That made them unique, like me and you.
Some were tall, some were small,
Some had fur, some had none at all.

But one day, something strange occurred,
A mutation happened, and they were unsure.
It changed their color, their shape, and their size,
And they wondered if they could still survive.

But these clever creatures knew what to do,
They adapted and changed, as nature knew.
They protected their young, and they all agreed,
That they'd all be safe, and they'd all succeed.

And with time, this mutation became a breed,
A new kind of mammal, that was perfect indeed.
So remember, my dear, that no matter what,
You can always adapt, and never give up!

Reflections

1. What is a gene and how does it make you unique?
2. How did the mammals in the story adapt to their mutation?
3. Why is it important to protect our young?
4. How can we learn from the mammals in the story when we face challenges in our own lives?
5. What are some other examples of animals that adapt and evolve over time?
