One day, Monkey was very hungry and wanted to eat his peanut butter sandwich. But oh no! He couldn’t find it anywhere. So, he asked his friend Rhino for help.
Rhino was a good friend and said, “I haven’t seen your sandwich, but I will help you look for it.” Together, they started searching everywhere.
First, they looked up in the tall trees. Monkey climbed up and said, “It’s not up in this tree.” Rhino looked around and said, “It’s not in this cave either.”
They kept looking and looking. Monkey checked another tree and said, “No sandwich in this tree either.” Rhino looked around some more and said, “Sorry, Monkey, there’s no peanut butter sandwich here, just some old cheese.”
Even though they couldn’t find the sandwich right away, Monkey and Rhino learned that working together makes searching more fun. They didn’t give up and kept looking. Maybe you can help them find the sandwich too!
Did you know that rhinos have very good hearing? They can hear their friends calling from far away. Maybe Rhino will hear where the sandwich is hiding next!
Sandwich Hunt at Home: Ask a grown-up to hide a toy or a small object in a room. Pretend it’s the missing peanut butter sandwich. Work with a friend or family member to search for it, just like Monkey and Rhino. Remember to look high and low! After you find it, talk about how teamwork helped you in your search.
Rhino’s Listening Game: Since rhinos have great hearing, play a listening game. Close your eyes and have someone make a sound from different parts of the room. Try to guess where the sound is coming from. This will help you understand how Rhino might use his hearing to find the sandwich.
Draw Your Adventure: Imagine you are helping Monkey and Rhino find the sandwich. Draw a picture of the places you would look. Would you check under the bed, in the garden, or maybe in the kitchen? Share your drawing with a friend and explain why you chose those places.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
