Connor Turns Three in the Jungle

The magical garden was buzzing—today, Connor the baby elephant was turning three!

Milo the monkey was the first to arrive. He brought… a banana peel. “It’s slippery AND shiny!” he said proudly. Everyone laughed, except Bella the bear cub, who accidentally sat on it and went whoosh! across the grass.

Leo the lion cub tried to roar “Happy Birthday,” but it came out more like “Meep!” The animals giggled so hard, even the butterflies fluttered funny.

Tia the tiger cub wanted to give Connor stripes for his birthday. She dipped her paw in mud and tried to paint Connor’s side. “Now you’re a stripy elephant!” she announced. Connor looked at his muddy self and trumpeted so loud, everyone tumbled over in giggles.

Finally, Bella the bear cub brought a giant honey cake. But before anyone could eat it, Milo swung down, grabbed a piece, and got stuck in the sticky mess. “Guess I’m the cake now!” he squeaked.

When it was time to blow out the candles, Connor took a deep breath. Instead of just blowing… he sneezed! ACHOO! The candles went out, the cake toppled, and the monkey landed in the frosting. The animals roared with laughter—it was the best birthday ever.

And as Papa Parrot declared, “When friends are around, even a sneeze can be magical.”

✨ Moral: Laughter and friendship make every celebration unforgettable. ✨
