Every animal in the jungle was thrilled for the Great Animal Football Match on this beautiful and bright day! Team Jungle Jumbos, with hippos, rhinos, and elephants, was on one side. The second group, Team Speedy Strikers, consisted of monkeys, gazelles, and cheetahs.
The game started when the referee, a serious-looking owl wearing glasses, blew the whistle!
Elephants attempted to dribble the ball, but it was squashed flat by their large feet. “Sorry! Ellie the Elephant apologized and gave the referee the squashed ball. Fortunately, there was one extra! The game went on.
The cheetahs bolted across the field, moving at such a high speed that nobody was able to stop them! However, Benny the Rhino came in like a rock and stopped the ball with his head just as Chet the Cheetah was ready to score! WHACK! The ball shot back up into the sky.
The monkeys were hanging from tree to tree on the sidelines, attempting to catch the ball in midair. Finally, Momo, one of the monkeys, seized it with his tail and kicked it toward the goal with a backflip. The audience erupted!
But hold on! Hugo the Hippo is approaching! He stood like a rock in front of the goal, strong yet sluggish. Momo kicked the ball forcefully, but it simply ricocheted off Hugo’s stomach with
Tilly the Turtle, who had been dozing off close to the goal, finally received the ball with a few seconds remaining. She unintentionally booted the ball in while she was tired, giving the Jungle Jumbos the victory!
Cheers arose from the woods. They said, “Go, Tilly!” It was the most astoundingly lucky victory ever!
