Once upon a time, in a world so extreme,
Lived a quiet little reptile, who had a big dream.
To be the healthiest creature, that ever did exist,
Filled with all the nutrients, he couldn't resist.

He wanted to be like the mammals, so big and strong,
With muscles so transparent, they could never go wrong.
So he ate lots of veggies, and fruits that were sweet,
And even some insects, that he found to eat.

With every meal, he grew stronger and stronger,
And soon he became a mighty creature, no longer a loner.
He could climb up the trees, and run on the ground,
With energy to spare, he felt truly unbound.

So, dear little kids, remember this tale,
To be healthy and strong, you must never fail.
Eat your fruits and veggies, and all that's good for you,
And soon you'll be strong, like a reptile, or a mammal too!

Reflections

1. What does the little reptile dream of becoming and why is that important to him?
2. What does the little reptile eat to become strong and healthy, and why is it important to eat healthy foods?
3. How does the little reptile change after eating healthy foods, and why is it important to be strong and healthy?
4. What lessons can we learn from the little reptile's journey, and how can we apply them to our own lives?
5. Can you name some other creatures, besides mammals and reptiles, that need nutrients to stay healthy and strong?
