Barnaby was a little bunny. He loved to jump. He jumped high and he jumped far.
One day, Barnaby had an idea. "I will open a school!" he said. "A school for jumping!"
Barnaby told all his friends. He told Rosie the squirrel. He told Freddie the frog. He told Penelope the pig.
"I will teach you how to jump," he said.
Rosie, Freddie, and Penelope were excited. They all wanted to jump better.
The first day of school came. Rosie tried to jump. She jumped a little bit.
Freddie tried to jump. He jumped higher than Rosie.
Penelope tried to jump. She could not jump very high at all.
Barnaby showed them how to bend their knees. He showed them how to swing their arms.
Rosie jumped higher! Freddie jumped even higher! Penelope jumped a little higher too!
They all practiced jumping every day. They got better and better.
Soon, Rosie, Freddie, and Penelope could jump very high. They thanked Barnaby for teaching them.
"Now we can jump everywhere!" they said. Barnaby smiled. He loved his jumping school.
