Once upon a time, there was a jungle far far away. It was full of animals. This story has 5 main characters - Beckie the bee, Cornelius the crocodile, Coby the cobra, Camila the camel and Liam the lion facing the humans. 

Let’s begin! Beckie, Cornelius, Coby, Camila and Liam all woke up to the sensation of rumbling. They saw cranes demolishing their home, “We need to stop this!!!” they all shouted, trying to make themselves be heard over the noisy cranes. 

“Let’s all charge at the cranes,” Liam yelled. They all agreed and charged for the cranes. Liam, Cornelius and Coby did a little bit of frightening but Beckie just ran into the crane and slid off “OW!” Beckie yelled in pain. Camila kicked one crane with a hoof but fell on her hump. Eventually the humans got over it and carried on. “We need to find the other animals!” Camila said. “But it will take a long time to find all the animals if we stay together!” Beckie pointed out. “We can do it!” Cornelius said, trying to encourage everyone. So they set off. But they were not as lucky as they had assumed.  

The animals refused to come. Beckie had an idea, “We need to tell them the jungle is being destroyed!” so the fivesome set off to try again to persuade the animals to come back and save the jungle. In about 21 minutes they had so many animals following them that the animals could fill 3 whole mountains top to bottom!!! They all marched to the jungle and when they got there their plan sprung into action. The lions, leopards, crocodiles, cobras and many more fierce animals did the frightening and the woodpeckers started pecking the glass which annoyed the drivers and they got out of the cranes. Then the elephants grabbed the cranes and crushed them! The drivers were panic-stricken and ran out of the forest. All the animals rejoiced and luckily they all brought seeds to plant. After all the animals had planted their seeds the elephants sucked lots of water from a nearby river and squirted it all over the jungle and it was blossoming in no time! The jungle was back to normal and the humans never dared to go back in the jungle.
