Jake the Snake is a sweet story about the relationship between humans and animals. One rainy afternoon, Jake helped three children out of a sticky situation. At first, the children feared Jake because of the way he looked. Jake did not mean to frighten them and just wanted to play in the game. It was not until the children needed Jake's help that they felt bad for the way they treated him. Jake gladly rescued the children and asked for nothing in return. It was then that the children realized that judging others by the way they look hurts everyone. The next day, they made Jake a gift to say thank you and that they were sorry. From then on, the children and Jake played together having learned valuable lessons about friendship, feelings, and fun!
