The river was calm and bright.
Otto the otter loved to sing.
He sang as he swam, “La, la, la!”
“Otto, your song is so sweet,” chirped a bird.
Otto lived in a big river.
Fish and frogs were his friends.
Every day, Otto liked to play.
He made new tunes for his river friends.
One morning, Otto saw a new friend.
A little turtle, slow and shy.
“Come play with us!” Otto sang.
The turtle smiled and nodded.
Otto’s song grew louder and louder.
“Join us all!” he sang with joy.
Fish jumped, frogs leaped, birds chirped.
The river was full of happiness.
“Thank you, Otto!” cheered all his friends.
“Let’s sing again tomorrow,” said the turtle.
Otto smiled and sang, “La, la, la!”
The river was home, filled with song.
The end.
