Mattoe the Cowboy steps into the green jungle. He wears his big brown hat. He loves his hat very much. The ribbon dances in the wind. The hat has a red ribbon. It makes him feel brave. He smiles under its shade. He feels safe and happy. Suddenly, a strong wind blows. Leaves whirl around him. The wind lifts his hat. He reaches out his hand. His heart beats fast. His hat flies away. Matteo looks sad and he misses his hat. Nearby, Teddy Bear sits on a log. Teddy is soft and kind. Teddy has a little ribbon. His ribbon is soft and blue. He loves to hug Matteo. High above, Monkey swings on vines. Monkey says, "I will find it." Monkey jumps with hope. His tail swings in circles. Beside a tall tree, the Jungle Guide waits. She is calm and wise. Her hat is small and green. She carries a small map. She reads the map with care. She hums a gentle tune. They look under big leaves. Droplets glisten on the leaves. They see colorful bugs. They look behind thick vines. They peek under mossy stones. They step over small rocks. His boot gets stuck. Monkey grabs a vine. Matteo cheers loud. They all cheer. Suddenly, a little green frog hops by. Matteo sees a shiny leaf. They follow the leaf trail. They cross a small stream. They step on smooth stones. They climb over a fallen log. They feel a tiny breeze. It cools their faces. They hear a bird whistle. The whistle sounds like a song. A small snake watches from a branch. It wiggles and moves away. They marvel at jungle life. Then they enter a dark cave. Matteo holds Teddy tight. The Guide lights a lantern. A friendly dragon appears. The dragon has big wings. He flaps them slowly. He puffs a small flame. He is big but gentle. He sniffs the ground. He says, "I saw a hat." "Really?" Matteo asks. The dragon nods. The dragon flicks his tail. He shows a glowing trail. The trail shines bright. It feels like magic. They follow the trail. They hold hands to stay close. They soon see a big rock. On the rock lies the hat. Matteo jumps with joy. He laughs with delight. He runs forward quickly. Teddy Bear hops. Matteo picks up the hat. He hugs it close. He puts the hat on his head. It fits just right. He smiles wide. He says, "Thank you." He gives a bright flower to the dragon. The dragon smells the flower. The dragon breathes smoke puffs. He laughs a gentle laugh. They all share a petal. They clap their hands. Then the Jungle Guide finds a small chest. Inside are ripe fruits. Red berries and sweet mango. They sit on a mossy rock. They taste juicy bites. The berries are sour and sweet. They smile at each bite. They laugh and sing. Bright birds join in song. The sun begins to set. The sky turns orange and pink. Gold light fills the trees. The leaves glow like gold coins. Matteo feels warm inside. He has his hat again. He made a new dragon friend. Hand in hand, they walk home. They sing a happy song. Night falls softly. The stars peek through the leaves. Fireflies glow around them. Matteo puts his hat by his bed. Matteo yawns and feels sleepy. Morning brings new joy. Sunlight peeks through curtains. Matteo dreams of tomorrow. The end.
