A bedtime story 5 min for preschoolers retold from old stories and legends.

In a great, green jungle, four animal friends lived happily together. There was Miro, the monkey who loved swinging; Tiago, the colorful toucan; Sonia, the slow and snuggly sloth; and Javier, the spotty jaguar.

Miro had an idea! He said “Let’s gather lots of yummy food for new friends who might visit us!”. So Miro got bananas, Tiago picked berries, Sonia found soft leaves, and Javier caught a wriggly fish.

The very next day, a tired traveler came to the jungle. “Welcome!” said the friends. “Please share our tasty treats!” The traveler was so grateful and shared stories about helping animals from all over the world.

He told them about brave monkeys, baby birds, sloths, and even a hurt jaguar! The friends listened closely.

Before leaving, the traveler whispered, “I have a secret! I’m magic! And you four are kind jungle friends.”

He gave them special gifts! Miro could talk to all animals, Tiago could fly super fast, Sonia could make friends feel better with a touch, and Javier became extra strong.

Now, they were the jungle helpers! They used their gifts to keep all animals and plants safe and happy. And they always remembered to be kind, just like the magic visitor taught them.
