Bobo's Big Bounce

Story Preview

Bobo the tiger loved his cozy jungle home. Every morning, he stretched his orange stripes in the warm sunshine.

"Good morning, jungle!" Bobo said with a big yawn. The birds chirped hello as he padded through the soft grass.

Suddenly, Bobo heard a strange sound. Boing! Boing! "What's making that bouncy noise?" he wondered.

Bobo crept through the tall ferns, following the sound. His little paws made no noise on the jungle floor.

There was Ruby Rabbit, hopping on old tree stumps! "This is so much fun!" she laughed, bouncing high.

"Can I try?" asked Bobo excitedly. He climbed onto a stump and gave a little hop. Bounce!

But Bobo's paws slipped on the smooth wood. "Oh no!" He wobbled and wiggled, trying to stay on.

"Tigers aren't made for bouncing," Bobo said sadly. His tail drooped as he watched Ruby hop so easily.

Ruby stopped bouncing and thought hard. "Wait! I have an idea," she said with twinkling eyes.

"Hold my paws, Bobo! We'll bounce together!" Ruby reached out her soft paws to her friend.

Paw in paw, they counted: "One, two, three... BOUNCE!" Up they went, higher than ever before!

"We're flying!" Bobo giggled. Together they bounced from stump to stump. Boing! Boing! Boing!

The jungle filled with happy laughter. Even the parrots came to watch the bouncing friends.

When the sun began to set, Bobo and Ruby sat on their favorite stump, tired but happy.

"Tomorrow, let's bounce again!" said Bobo, hugging his friend. "Everything's better together!"
