One sunny morning, a little dog named Benji woke up feeling excited. Today, he was going on an adventure! (Children start in Dog Pose – hands and feet on the ground, hips high.)
Benji stretched his legs and wagged his tail. Then, he ran out of his house and into the big, green forest.
As he walked, he saw a tall, strong tree standing in the middle of the path. "Wow! What a big tree!" Benji said. He stood still and stretched his arms up like the branches. (Children move into Tree Pose – stand on one foot, arms up.)
Benji heard a soft "meow." He turned and saw a small, fluffy cat sitting on a rock. "Hello, Cat! What are you doing?" asked Benji.
"I am stretching my back," said the cat. She arched her back up and then down. (Children do Cat Pose – on hands and knees, round and arch the back.)
Benji and the cat continued walking together when they heard a hissing sound. "What is that?" asked the cat.
A long, shiny snake slithered out from behind a bush. "Hello, friends," said the snake. He stretched his body long and lifted his head. (Children do Snake Pose – lie on the stomach, hands under shoulders, and lift the chest.)
Benji and the cat were happy to meet the snake. "Do you want to come on our adventure?" they asked.
"Yes! But first, let’s rest on this big rock," said the snake.
The three friends sat quietly on the rock, feeling the warm sun on their backs. (Children do Rock Pose – kneeling, fold forward, forehead on the ground, arms by sides.)
After resting, they all stood up, stretched, and continued their adventure together, ready for more fun!
The End.

How the Dog, Cat and Snake Met

One sunny morning, Benji the Dog woke up feeling very excited. He stretched his legs and wagged his tail happily as he prepared for an adventure. He stepped out of his house and entered the big, green forest. As he walked, he mimicked a dog pose by lowering his body and stretching his arms. The forest seemed full of surprises waiting to be discovered.

A Sunny Beginning

While exploring the forest path, Benji heard a soft, gentle meow. He looked around and found Minù the Cat sitting peacefully on a rock. Minù was stretching her back and moving like she was doing a comfortable yoga pose. Benji greeted her with a friendly bark and asked if she wanted to join him on his adventure. Together, they walked and talked happily about the wonders of the forest.

The Meeting with the Cat

As Benji and Minù strolled deeper into the woods, they heard a gentle hissing sound nearby. From behind a bush, Snaky the Snake slid out, smiling and inviting them to join his fun. Snaky moved gracefully, stretching his long body in a special snake pose. The three friends laughed and shared kind words as they discovered each other. They felt happy knowing that new friendships can start with a simple greeting.

Finding the Friendly Snake

Deciding to continue their adventure, the trio found a cozy, big rock to take a short rest. They practiced a fun yoga pose called the Rock Pose by sitting quietly and feeling the warm sunshine. After resting, they stood up, stretched, and felt energetic for more playful exploration. The friends explored more of the forest and shared smiles and kind words along the way. They learned that adventures are best enjoyed when shared with friends.
