Not
so long ago, there was a jungle filled with many, many animals. There
were big ones, little ones, even itty-bitty ones. Most were friendly,
but a few were a little mean. All the animals played together, etxcept
the mean ones. They didn’t have too many friends so they just
stayed alone most of the time. One day, a big hippopotamus and a large
brown bear were resting after eating a big snack.
“Hey bear,” the hippopotamus said. “This is how
I like to live. Eat a big snack, and then take a long nap. How about
you?"
The bear replied, “Me too! But sometimes I like to walk around
the jungle looking for a campsite…you know, to scare the people.
It’s fun! They scream and then run away. Then I go get the food
they left behind. You get good snacks that way.” |
