Welcome to my jungle, the stories I will share Of antelopes and alligators, jackals here and there. I'll tell you about monkeys, lion fierce and strong, Crows and owls and other birds, reptiles short and long. I'll tell you about enemies, of greed and jealousy, I'll tell you about friendship, love and harmony. From all these tales we'll discover, through all our jungle friends, The wit and ageless wisdom, the advice that they lend. This is the story of The Blue Jackal. You can read along with Karadi the bear. You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear his cane tap like this. Let us begin now.
