Narrator: Once upon a time in the animal kingdom, there was a dispute among the animals. Each of them firmly believed that their way of life was the best.

Leo: (proudly) As the king of the jungle, I believe that our way of life is the strongest.

Kendall: (hopping around) Our agility and speed in hopping are superior. Kangaroos are fearless!

Amir: (with his long nose) As an anteater, our diet of ants and termites is the most deserving of a ruler.

Harley: (swimming in the river) Hippos are the greatest swimmers. Can't argue with that!

Savitri: (pacing back and forth) Tigers are the strongest and most agile of all felines. The sun is on our side!

Mateo: (swinging around) Monkeys are the most adaptable and resourceful animals with God's blessing!

Jade: (climbing a tree) Iguanas are masters of camouflage and precious to those who see us.

Aria: (prancing around) Zebras are unique and beautiful creatures that catch attention wherever we roam.

Narrator: Each animal believed that their way of life was superior to the others. They refused to acknowledge the strengths of the other species.

Leo: Lions are kings of the animal kingdom and therefore, the strongest!

Savitri: Tigers are the undisputed masters of the territory.

Kendall: Kangaroos are fearless and hop faster than other animals on four legs.

Amir: Anteaters have the best diets, and therefore, rulers of the animal kingdom.

Harley: Hippos can effortlessly swim in the water and are the best swimmers.

Mateo: Monkeys' resourcefulness and adaptability make us the best.

Jade: Our camouflage is unmatched and highly regarded in the animal kingdom.

Aria: Zebras' unique stripes make us stand out and admired all over the world.

Narrator: The dispute among the animals escalated, and each species believed that their way of life was the only way. Little did they realize that all species had their unique traits and abilities.

Leo: Lions are strong and fierce, not to be messed with!

Savitri: Tigers are agile and quick on their feet, a force to be reckoned with!

Kendall: Jumping is faster than running, and Kangaroos do it the best!

Amir: Anteaters can detect ants like no other animal can.

Harley: The water is our perfect hiding spot, and hippos are great at swimming.

Mateo: Monkeys' clever ideas could solve any problem.

Jade: Iguanas can imitate the surroundings and blend in nicely.

Aria: Each of our stripes tells a story and creates a beautiful melody in the world.

Narrator: Finally, an old wise owl came into the scene.

Wise Old Owl: (hooting) Dear animals, you all are unique and have your strengths that make you magnificent creatures. Acknowledge each other's traits and abilities, and together you will be stronger than ever.

Narrator: The animals nodded their heads, realizing the truth in the owl's words. They recognized that they had battled over something that didn't need to be a dispute. Instead, they chose to celebrate their differences, which made them stronger, more special, and diverse.

The animals stopped the dispute and celebrated diversity, having learned a valuable lesson about etnocentrism. From then on, they lived together in peace and harmony.

The end.
