The Little Meadow Jamboree
The Little Meadow Jamboree
In a sunny meadow, there lived many animal families. Mama Sheep and her little Lamb, Papa Cow and his bouncy Calf, and Mama Duck with her wobbly Duckling. Every morning, the meadow was filled with the sounds of their happy chatter.
Lamb loved to skip and leap through the tall grass, his little "baa-baa" echoing as he hopped. Calf enjoyed chasing butterflies, his "moo-moo" a soft rumble as he galloped. Duckling, always near the pond, loved to splash and paddle, his "quack-quack" a joyful sound as he followed Mama Duck.
One day, Lamb, Calf, and Duckling decided to have a little jamboree. Lamb skipped and baa-ed, Calf chased his tail and moo-ed, and Duckling splashed and quacked. They laughed and played until the sun began to set, filling the meadow with the sweet sounds of baby animal joy.
