Once upon a time, a hungry jackal went to a village looking for food. But the dogs started chasing him.
The jackal ran past a washerman’s house. He saw a tub and quickly jumped into it. The dogs got a fright when they saw the blue fox and ran away.
The jackal went back to the jungle. All the animals ran away from him. He was surprised. It was only when he saw himself in the river that he saw he was blue!
The clever jackal had an idea. He told the animals that he was special, and he he was their king. The animals believed him and brought him food and gifts.
But one day, the jackal heard other jackals howling. He couldn’t stop himself and howled with them. The animals realised that he was a jackal. They were angry with the jackal and chased him away.
Play Safe, Play Smart
Play safe, play smart,
Let’s be careful from the start.
I’ll wear my helmet, strap it tight, Let us play safe from day to night.
I’ll look both ways before I cross, Hold hands tight, no time to toss.
I’ll share my toys and have good fun, Playing safely is great for everyone!
The Lion and the Hare
Once upon a time, a big, strong lion lived in the jungle. He would scare the other animals!
All the other animals were afraid! So, they spoke to the clever hare.
The clever hare went to the well. He thought of a plan.
The hare told the lion that another lion lived in the well.
The lion saw his reflection in the well. He thought it was another lion. He jumped and fell into the well!
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go. It followed her to school one day, Which was against the rules. It made the children laugh and play, To see a lamb in school.
The Elephant and the Brave Little Ants
In the jungle, there was a big elephant. He was mean to the other animals. When they lay on the riverbank, he sprayed them.
He trumpeted at them to get out of his way. He stamped his feet. The animals were scared of him.
The kind ants decided to teach the elephant a lesson. When he was sleeping, the ants crawled up his nose. They started tickling him.
The elephant sneezed loudly. ATICHOO! But he couldn’t get rid of the tiny ants! ATICHOO! There were ants still in his nose.
The elephant realised his mistake and said sorry. The ants left him alone. From that day on, he was nicer to everyone!
Action Poem
Let’s jump like bunnies, hop up and down, Wiggle our fingers, and spin around! Now stretch up high, reach for the sky, Touch your toes, give it a try! Move like a snake, side to side, March like a soldier, with arms open wide. Flap like a bird, fly through the air, Spin like a wheel at the fair.
Animals Are Friends
Honeybees hum, with honey so sweet.
Cows gives us milk, a creamy treat.
Hens lay eggs in cozy nests. Our animal friends, they are truly the best.
Sheep give us wool, so warm and soft.
Goats give us cheese that we keep in the loft. Horses we ride, with a clip clop sound. In fields and farms, joy is found.
My Dear Friends

My dear friends, see colours in the air, Festivals bring joy for us to share.
