As the sun rises over the grassy savanna, Ellie the elephant raises her trunk, trumpeting 'Good morning!' Monkey swings from a tree branch with a cheeky grin, while Ziggy trots by, wiggling his tail.
The sun peeks up with a yawn and a stretch, "Good morning!" trumpets Ellie, no time to fetch. Monkey swings down with a cheeky little grin, "Let's play all day, come on, jump in!" Ziggy the zebra trots by with a wiggle, Gigi the giraffe lets out a happy giggle. Leo the lion gives a soft little roar, "Hooray for new rhymes! Let's open the door!"
Ziggy the zebra gallops across the meadow, his black-and-white stripes blurring. Ellie flaps her ears and cheers, while Monkey claps his hands and shouts, 'Over here!'
Ziggy the zebra zooms zip, zip, zip, "Catch me if you can!" with a happy little skip. Ellie flaps her ears and gives a big cheer, Monkey claps his hands and shouts, "Over here!" Gigi stretches tall to watch the fun race, Leo lets out a roar to set the pace. Ziggy zooms past with a swish of his tail, "Rhyme time racing never, ever gets stale!"
Gigi the giraffe stretches her long neck toward the fluffy clouds, a smile on her face. Monkey waves from a treetop, and Ellie reaches up with her curling trunk.
Gigi the giraffe stretches up, up, up high, "I can touch the clouds way up in the sky!" Monkey swings over to give her a wave, "You're so tall, Gigi, you're super brave!" Ellie reaches too with her long trunk up top, Ziggy zips around and gives a little hop. Leo smiles wide and lets out a cheer, "Tall friends and small friends, we're all happy here!"
Leo the lion lets out a mighty roar, his fluffy mane shaking. Ellie trumpets a happy blast, and Ziggy stomps his hooves with a rhythmic clip-clop.
Leo the lion gives a great big ROAR, "I love my friends, I couldn't ask for more!" Ellie trumpets back with a happy little blast, Monkey swings by, swinging fast, fast, fast! Ziggy stomps his hooves with a clip and a clop, Gigi bends low for a friendly head bop. "Together we roar, we trumpet, we sing, rhyme time with friends is the best kind of thing!"
Monkey covers his eyes and counts, 'One, two, three!' Leo crouches behind a big tree, and Ellie squeezes small behind a tall leafy fern, trunk tucked close.
"Let's hide!" says Monkey, "and count to three!" Leo covers his eyes behind a big tree. Ellie squeezes small behind a tall, leafy fern, Gigi peeks out, it's hard not to turn! Ziggy zips fast to a hiding spot too, "Ready or not, here I come, coo-coo!" Leo finds them all with a happy little shout, "Found my friends! That's what rhyme time's about!"
Monkey juggles three bananas under the bright sun. One slips, but Ellie catches it with her trunk, as Ziggy rolls on the grass, laughing with glee.
Monkey swings down holding bananas, oh my! He juggles them up toward the bright blue sky. One banana slips and falls with a plop, Ellie catches it gently, "Oopsie, don't stop!" Ziggy giggles and rolls on the grass with glee, Gigi bends down low to pick number three. Leo laughs loud with a happy ha-ha, "Sharing with friends is the best thing by far!"
Raindrops fall on the savanna. Ellie splashes in a puddle with her big feet, giggling. Monkey dances beside her, and Ziggy stomps his hooves to the splashy beat.
Drip, drop, drip, the rain starts to fall, "Let's dance in the puddles!" Monkey gives a call. Ellie splashes big with her great big feet, Ziggy stomps stripes to a splashy beat. Gigi tips her head back to catch every drop, Leo spins around and just cannot stop. "Rain time, rhyme time, so much fun today!" they all sing together in their puddly ballet.
Ellie stacks big leaves against the old tree. Monkey swings onto the roof with a branch, while Ziggy zooms in carrying sticks for the wall.
"Let's build a fort!" says Ellie with glee, stacking big leaves beside the old tree. Monkey swings branches to make a roof top, Gigi holds steady so the leaves do not drop. Ziggy zooms in with sticks for the wall, Leo lies down, "This fort is so tall!" They squeeze in together, all cozy and snug, "Rhyme time forts deserve a big hug!"
Ellie holds out a pile of round red berries with her trunk. Monkey passes one from paw to paw, and Ziggy takes it with a happy 'Hee-haw!'
Ellie finds berries, round, red, and sweet, "Let's share them all, that would be a treat!" Monkey passes berries from paw to paw, Ziggy takes one with a happy "Hee-haw!" Gigi bends low to get her small share, Leo waits last, "Friends, that's only fair!" They munch together under the warm, bright sun, "Sharing with friends makes everything fun!"
Gigi's spotted scarf blows away in the windy savanna. Monkey swings high to look, and Leo spots it stuck on a branch. He reaches up, roaring with joy.
"Oh no!" says Gigi, "my scarf blew away!" The friends all search on this windy day. Ellie sniffs low, Ziggy zips through the grass, Monkey swings high to look as they pass. Leo spots it stuck on a branch up above, "Found it!" he roars with a lion-sized love. Gigi wraps it snug with a happy, big sigh, "Thank you, dear friends, you're the best, oh my!"
Under a pink sunset sky, Ellie sways slowly, her ears flapping gently. Monkey dances with a cheerful grin, and Ziggy twirls fast, stripes blurring.
The sky turns pink as the sun starts to set, "Let's dance!" says Monkey, "the best dance yet!" Ellie sways slow with her big floppy ears, Ziggy twirls fast, no room for fears. Gigi bends gentle in a tall, swaying sway, Leo stomps rhythm to end the bright day. Together they boogie beneath the warm glow, "Rhyme time dancing, the best way to go!"
Beneath a blanket of twinkling stars, Ellie yawns sleepily, whispering 'Goodnight.' Monkey curls up on a cozy leaf, and Ziggy lies down with a peaceful sigh.
The stars twinkle bright in the soft nighttime sky, "Goodnight," whispers Ellie with a sleepy sigh. Monkey curls up on a cozy, soft leaf, Ziggy lies down with a peaceful relief. Gigi folds her long legs beneath the old tree, Leo hums softly, "Goodnight, one, two, three." "We laughed and we rhymed, what a wonderful day, goodnight, dear friends, until we play!"
