How the Dog, Cat and Snake Met
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.
