He had been troubled by the near miss, but he was still determined to keep walking. + +After a while, John ran across a rope that was hanging off the nearby bridge. He wondered what he could do with it and then he had an idea. He made a loop and placed it around a nearby tree. With one end of the rope linked to the tree, he slowly edged his way towards the pond. He lowered the other end of the rope into the water, creating a way for him to slowly walk across the slippery pond. John slowly made his way across the pond until he felt the familiar ground beneath his feet. + +John had set himself a challenge, and he had overcome it! With a smile, he walked away from the pond, feeling very proud of himself. +Once upon a time, there lived a brave little girl called Tammy. Tammy wasn't afraid of much, until one day when a scary noise came from outside her window. She crawled over to the window to take a look outside and saw a huge, scary creature!

His father smiled and said, "Okay, one more gift." + +And John went on to receive one more gift from his father, who he loved more than anything in the world. +Once there was a delicate bird named Pat. Pat had seen a beautiful puddle in the park and wanted to take a bath. But Pat was scared because the puddle was very deep and Pat was too small to swim. + +Pat quickly remembered a lesson his mommy had taught him "trust yourself, Pat". So Pat decided to trust himself and bravely flew to the edge of the puddle. Pat flapped his wings and slowly flew closer to the puddle and eventually landed on it carefully. + +Pat was so happy! He enjoyed playing and splashing around in the puddle. Pat had trusted himself and now he was having so much fun.

She thought it looked very interesting and decided to check it out. + +When she approached the house, she was shocked to find an old man sitting on the doorstep. He said he had been waiting for someone special. He said that he had a special gift for her - a wonderful gift she could share with the world. + +Now, the gifted girl spends her days doing the kind of work the old man taught her.

So, Mary asked the man, "Please, can I do something good for you?" + +The man smiled and said, "Yes, I want a flower." Mary ran off and picked a really pretty flower from a nearby garden. She gave it to the man and said, "Here, please take this." The man was amazed and said, "Thank you, this is really nice of you! I am so grateful."

It was scared and had nowhere to go. +Jack and Luke grinned and tried to help it. +"Hey little mouse, don't be scared," Jack called out. "We'll help you!" +The mouse looked up gratefully. +With the help of some sticks and stones, the two friends managed to get the mouse safely down from the shelf. +The mouse scurried away into the bushes, relieved to be free and safe. +Jack and Luke smiled happily and they thanked each other for their work. +The two friends went back to their game, feeling proud of themselves. +The End. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Lovely.

He asked the puppy what his name was, and the puppy said, "My name is Rufus!" + +The young farmer was so pleased with his new companion that he decided to keep Rufus with him forever. From that day on, Rufus lived happily on the farm and the young farmer never felt alone again. + +The moral of this story is that it is important to keep a positive attitude. Even if something seems impossible, try shaking it and something great might still happen! +Once there was a thoughtful bee called Buzzy. Buzzy was looking for a place to stay. He saw a root, and he knew it was just what he was looking for. He flew down to the root and stayed there. + +Soon after, a caterpillar crawled to the root. The caterpillar looked at Buzzy and said "What are you doing here?" Buzzy said, "I'm looking for a safe place to stay." The caterpillar replied, "Well, this root is a good place to stay, but why don't you go look around at some of the other places too?" + +Buzzy thought it was a thoughtful suggestion and decided to explore a bit. After a while, he came back to the same root and he decided it was the best place after all. So he stayed with the caterpillar. + +They had lots of fun together, talking and exploring the root.

Then he heard someone calling his name "come down from there, it's time to go home". He smiled and climbed down the ladder. He was sad to leave. But he knew he would be back to play on the ladder soon. And he was right. +It was a sunny day. Bob the beetle was looking for a place to relax. He wanted to find somewhere cool and fun to enjoy. He looked around, but he couldn't find anywhere suitable. Until, he saw it. It was a tall tree, with a big, shady leaf. Bob knew it could be the perfect spot for him to relax. + +He climbed up the tall tree, until he reached the leaf. He laid down and enjoyed the sunrays, feeling the wind brush against his back.

Here, take this one." +Mercy said thank you and showed her mom her new umbrella. + +Her mom smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to a special trick." She held the umbrella and spun it around, making it open. Mercy was amazed! She started spinning the umbrella around, trying to make it open like her mom.

He heard a loud ringing sound coming nearby. He stopped walking and listened carefully. The ringing sound was coming from a nearby tree. + +Jim slowly walked to the tree. He looked around it and finally saw a small, red phone. The ringing stopped and he picked up the phone. + +"Hello? Who is this?" he asked. + +He was surprised when a child's voice answered him on the other side. "My name is Tim and I was exploring in the backyard. Can I come in and meet you?" + +Jim smiled. "Of course you can," he said. He hung up the phone and waited in the backyard. Soon Tim arrived and they both enjoyed the lovely morning together. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was 3 years old and very adventurous. One day, she found an old trumpet in the woods while she was playing. It looked very wet, but the little girl wanted to use it. + +"Mommy, I found a trumpet," she excitedly said. +Her mommy gave her a big smile. "What are you going to use it for?" she asked. + +The little girl thought for a moment. "I'm going to use it to make music with, of course!" she said proudly. + +The little girl went back to the woods and started to play the trumpet. The sounds came out wet and warbly, but the little girl kept playing and making beautiful music. Soon, the whole forest was filled with her music. + +The little girl smiled and said, "Mommy, look at what I can do with my trumpet!" + +Her mommy smiled and said, "I'm so proud of you, sweetie. You're a very special and talented little girl." +Sam was feeling very bossy. He wanted to order everyone around! He had a fork in his hand and thought that it would help him. He looked around and saw his mum, so he ordered her to do things. She had to help him play with his toy truck and listen to stories. + +Then Sam saw his little brother. He was playing with a ball. So Sam ordered him to give him the ball. But his brother was not listening. So Sam used the fork to poke him. His brother got scared and he quickly gave the ball to Sam. + +Sam was feeling very happy. He went over to his dad and ordered him to play with him. But his dad, being the boss, said no and gave him a hug instead. So Sam decided not to be so bossy anymore and hugged his dad back. +One day, Anna and her Grandma were having a picnic. Grandma set the blanket down on the grass and put the food basket next to it. Anna saw a tree stand next to them and wanted to climb it. + +"Can I climb the tree Grandma?" asked Anna. + +"Oh, I don't know if that's such a good idea. That tree stand looks pretty tight," said Grandma. + +Anna was determined to climb the tree so she looked around for something she could use to help her. Finally she found a little stone that she could use as a step. She put the stone underneath the tree stand and climbed onto it. Grandma was there to support her as she clambered to the top. + +When Anna reached the highest branch, Grandma shouted up to her, "You did it Anna! You used you resourcefulness and determination to make it! I'm so proud of you." + +Anna was so proud of herself too. She smiled and waved down to her Grandma before climbing back down. Together they shared the picnic lunch and Anna told Grandma all about her adventure up the tight tree stand. +Jane was walking through the park when she saw something strange by a tree. She went closer and saw a little puppy. It was trying to hide its head behind its two arms. Jane thought it might be scared so she slowly reached out her arm and spoke gently. "Hello there," she said. + +At first, the puppy was too scared to accept her help, but eventually it let her touch her fur. Jane felt relieved. She wanted to take the puppy home and make it safe. + +So she picked up the puppy and tried to take it home. But a mean man saw them and yelled at Jane.

They went to play in the park together. + +Isaac saw a weapon lying on the ground and said, "Look what I found. This is so impressive!" Shawna didn't like it and said, “Let’s put it away before we get hurt.†+ +But Isaac didn't listen. He grabbed the weapon and started to tear apart a flower bush. Shawna was very upset and said, "Isaac, why did you do that? That was an innocent flower bush!" + +Isaac felt sorry for what he had done and cried with shame. Shawna said, "Weapons are only meant to be used if you really have to. Never use them to hurt someone or something unless it's the only way. Remember this and make sure you don't do something like this again." + +Isaac nodded his head and they went back home. He realized that sometimes it’s better to use our words and not weapons. And that being kind is the best way to show our strength. +Once there was a little boy named Joe. Joe lived in a big city and he was very curious about the world around him. He wanted to explore the maze of streets and alleyways. + +One day, Joe took a stroll through the maze of streets and alleyways.

He helped Joe find his way. + +Joe never forgot the old man's warning. Every time he passed by the maze, he thought about it and remained cautious. +Once upon a time, there were two neighbours, Paul and Sam.

Sam saw him and said, “Why don’t we separate our yards to make our gardens pretty?†Paul agreed and said, “That’s a very good idea.†+ +The next day, Paul and Sam set up a fence to separate their yards. Paul was very anxious about the fence, making sure that it was nice and strong. + +A few days later, Sam came over to talk to Paul and said, “Paul, let’s use my new rake to tidy up our gardens and make them look even prettier.†Paul agreed, so they began raking the leaves and picking the weeds in their gardens. Soon they had both made their gardens look very nice. + +Paul was very pleased with the results and said to Sam, “Thanks for helping me. Our gardens now look so beautiful I'm not anxious anymore.†+One day, Jim was walking through the park. He noticed a squirrel eating some nuts.

One day she wanted to sew a dress, so she asked her mum for help. + +Mum said, “We need to buy some fabric and a needle and thread from the shop.†+ +Linda was excited, so she put on her shoes and ran outside. When Linda got to the store, she picked out a beautiful red fabric. + +The store keeper said, “Here is the needle and thread. Would you like to buy it?†+ +Linda nodded. As the clerk handed her the needle and thread, she said, “Now, you need to be careful. A stitch is when you sew the fabric together. Do you understand?†+ +Linda said, “Yes, I understand.†+ +When Linda got home, she carefully put the needle and thread together, but she was having trouble. She couldn’t get the two parts of the fabric to stay together. + +Linda asked her mum for help. + +Mum said, “Honey, don’t worry.

We'll get you another soccer ball." + +Sally thanked the nurse and they went to the store to buy a new soccer ball. But when they got there, Sally saw something better: a bike. She wanted the bike more than a soccer ball. Sally asked the nurse if she could buy it, but the nurse said no. + +The nurse told Sally, "It's important to be dependable. That means if we say we'll do something, we must do it. You said you wanted a soccer ball and we talked about getting you one. That's what we should do now." + +Sally agreed and thanked the nurse for being dependable. She realized it was more important to keep her promise than get what she wanted. + +The moral of the story is: Bedependable in everything you do and say. +Once there was a little girl called Sarah. She was three years old. She was going out with her Mum and Dad and she needed a mitten for her hand so her Mum said: + +"Come and find a mitten to match your coat!" + +Sarah searched the house but couldn't find the one she wanted.

She felt embarrassed but she knew that her Mum would still be happy. + +So, she put it on her hand and went outside with her family. She felt embarrassed but also happy that she had made her Mum proud. +Jack was out playing in the snow. He had on his big yellow coat and his hat and gloves. He couldn't wait to make a snowman and throw snowballs! + +Suddenly, he began to shiver. He was so cold! There was a distinct difference between the cold of the snow and the warmth of the sun. + +"Mommy!" he called out. "Mommy, I'm cold!" + +His mom smiled and waved him inside.

His mother saw him and said, “Sammy, you need to be more gentle. Quick polishing can make the object uncomfortable.†+ +Sammy stopped polishing and looked up at his mother. He asked, “What does uncomfortable mean?†+ +His mother smiled at him and said, “Uncomfortable means it doesn’t feel good. You should polish it slowly and carefully, so it feels nice.†+ +Sammy nodded his head and slowly started to polish the object again. The shiny object looked even better when he was done. +Jenny was a brave girl. She was always curious and loved adventure. One day Jenny was walking around, when she saw something hairy in the bushes. It was a telephone. Jenny was excited and wanted to play with it.

Suddenly, there was a bright light and a loud buzzing. Jenny was scared and ran away. + +When her mom found her, they realized the buzzing was coming from the telephone. It was a bee hive! Jenny didn't realize that closing the phone would disturb the bees. The lesson Jenny learned that day was to never touch what isn't yours. +Once upon a time there was a little girl and she was very, very sad. She was sad because she had a nightmare. It was a scary nightmare. Every night she had the same nightmare and she was so restless. + +One day, she decided to do something about it.

He was very strong and fast, and he could fly very high in the sky. + +One day, he flew into a barn and he saw a farmer tying a rope on a pole. The chicken asked the farmer, “What are you doing?†The farmer answered, “I’m tying a rope around this pole so my cows can’t get out.†+ +The chicken wanted to help, so the farmer gave him another rope.

Then, suddenly, the inchworm started moving. It wiggled up to Molly and said, "Alright, I'll play now!" + +Molly and the inchworm had a great time. They played tag and laughed loudly. Molly was so glad that the inchworm changed its mind and decided to play with her. They were the best of friends now! +Once upon a time there was a rich girl.

Wait one minute, buddy! That file belongs to me!" +Turning around, he saw a tiny mouse. + +The bear said, "This file looks delicious, and it's all mine!" +The mouse replied, "Maybe the file looks good, but it doesn't belong to you.

We will be very careful and we won’t make too much smoke.†+ +The bear saw how small and scared the bird was and he realised he had been too harsh.

From then on, the engine ran smoothly and took the mechanic wherever he needed to go. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Rob and Eddie. They loved playing together. One day Rob and Eddie decided to get married. They were so happy! Everyone was happy for them and said the marriage would be very useful. + +A few weeks later, as the day of their wedding drew closer, Rob started to feel unsure. He began to think that he and Eddie weren't really ready to get married. He was too scared to tell Eddie, so he kept it a secret. + +On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. But as they said their vows, Rob couldn't keep the secret any longer. He told Eddie he didn't feel ready and he was sorry but he couldn't get married. Eddie was so sad but agreed. The wedding was stopped and Rob and Eddie said goodbye. + +Rob was so sad he left town. He decided to start a new life in a different place. He found a wonderful garden to live in and soon the flowers in the garden started to bloom. In the beauty of the garden, Rob thought about how love can be so tricky. But he also realized with time, things can bloom and be even more beautiful. He was grateful for his marriage and for the useful lessons it had taught him. +Once upon a time, there was a little ant who lived in a very thick forest. He was always very curious about the world around him and wanted to explore everywhere he could. +One day, the ant decided to go on an adventure. He marched down the forest path and was amazed by the sights and smells he found. He eventually came to a big, thick tree and stopped to examine it. +He walked around the trunk and saw some tasty looking leaves. But then he noticed something crawling in the bark. He moved closer to examine it, and it was another ant! +The little ant was very pleased, and he and his new friend chatted all day. They were both happy to have someone to explore the forest together. In the end, they both went back to their homes, knowing that they'd had a very special experience. +Once upon a time, there was a little pink rabbit who loved to play in the garden. She especially loved to jump in the mud and roll around. One day, she found a bottle of special ink. It was so pretty and shiny. She looked at it for a long time, wanting to take it home with her. + +The rabbit remembered the wise words of her mother, who had always said that taking things that didn't belong to her was wrong. But she really wanted the ink. So, she decided to take it. + +The next day, the rabbit put the ink in her pocket and went outside to play. But, soon after, it started to rain and the ink was washed away. Pink ink was everywhere, even in the rabbit's fur! + +The rabbit let out a little cry. She thought about how she had taken the ink, even though she knew it didn't belong to her. Now, she would never have it ever again. + +The rabbit learned a valuable lesson that day. Just because something might seem pretty and special, it still doesn't mean that it belongs to you. Taking something that doesn't belong to you, no matter how much you want it, is usually wrong. +Once upon a time, there was a foolish bear. Every day, he went to the train station to watch the trains pull in. One day the bear was so excited when he saw the biggest train ever. He wanted to marry the train and couldn’t believe it when he found out that it was already married to the railway tracks. + +The bear was very sad but decided he should find someone else to marry. He looked far and wide but none of the other animals seemed as special as the train.

But the bear was still happy to go the station; he never forgot how the train made him feel. He watched trains come and go and felt the same excitement each and every day. +Once there was a cool little girl. She was walking in the park one day and saw a motion happening near the pond. She stopped to watch and saw all the animals gathering around the pond. They were gathering sticks and stones. + +The girl was curious, so she came closer to look. She waved her hand to get their attention. +One small bird landed at her feet and said, "Hello! We are gathering things to build a nest!" + +The girl smiled and nodded her head. She liked the idea of helping the animals build their nest. She carefully picked up some of the sticks and stones and placed them into the pile. + +The animals thanked the girl and hopped away, thanking her for all of her help. She felt happy, knowing that she had made such a cool contribution to the animals. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to explore. She wanted to see what lay beyond her home. One day she found the perfect spot, a river that lead to many wonderful places. + +The little girl was so excited! But when she started to walk along the river, she slipped and fell in. Luckily, her body was strong enough to keep her afloat, but she was so frustrated that this had happened. + +The little girl could tell that the river was taking her away from her home. She tried to call out for help, but no one could hear her. + +Then, just when she was starting to feel really scared, a boat appeared in the distance. She was so relieved. + +The captain of the boat smiled at her and asked her name. But before she could tell him, he said he had to leave. He said he could not help her because he had to lead a group of people to safety. + +The little girl was so disappointed. She watched the boat sail away, never to be seen again. She was all alone in the river, and she never made it back home. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved going to the airport to watch the planes take off and land.

"Wow, it's a pilot!" He said in amazement. He waved goodbye to the pilot and the pilot waved back. + +The boy was so excited and couldn't wait to tell his friends about it. But then one day, as he was telling his friends about the incredible pilot he had seen, he heard a familiar sound. He looked up and he saw the same incredible white plane again, with the two big red stripes and the beautiful blue sky! The pilot saw the boy and waved again, just like it did the first time. + +The little boy was so happy he had seen the incredible pilot again. It was as if he had foreshadowed this moment when he first heard the sound of the plane, and now he had finally found the incredible pilot he had been looking for! +One day, Jack and his mommy went to the port. Jack was only three years old, but he was very curious and intelligent. As they walked along the port, they saw a big boat. Jack's mommy pointed to the boat and said, "Look Jack, what do you think that is?" + +Jack looked very carefully and thought for a moment. Then he said, "It's a boat!" + +His mommy smiled and said, "Yes, it's a boat. Let's go and introduce ourselves!" + +They walked up to the boat and his mommy said, "Hello! I'm Jack's mommy and this is Jack. We were just admiring your boat and wanted to introduce ourselves." + +The captain smiled and said, "Hello! My name is Captain Jim. Welcome aboard my boat. It's nice to meet you both." + +Jack was so excited to meet the captain and explore his boat. His mommy looked around in awe as the captain showed them around.

John had a little toy car in his hands and was running around with it. His mom was holding an iron. + +John said to his mom: "Mom, what's that?" + +His mom replied: "This is an iron. We use it to make clothes nice and smooth." + +John was so curious about the iron that he wanted to try and hold it. His mom said: "OK, but be careful. It's very hot." + +So, John held the iron and realized that it was indeed hot. He quickly put it back and said: "It's too hot! I won't touch it anymore." + +His mom smiled and said: "It's good that you realized it was too hot. You are still a little boy so it's better to stay away from this thing." + +John nodded in agreement and went back to playing with his toy car. +Once upon a time, there was a mama who wanted to make something special. She grabbed a bowl and took the ingredients out of the fridge. Everything smelled so delicious! + +Mama started to mix everything together, and she made sure to twist the ingredients to make a yummy surprise. She smiled as the bowl filled up with her special creation. + +Mama looked over to her little one watching in excitement. "Would you like to try it when it's ready?" The little one nodded her head excitedly. + +When the surprise was ready, Mama carefully scooped some into a plate and handed it to the little one. She took a bite - it was so delicious! The little one smiled and said, "Mama, this is the best surprise ever!" +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jack. He was only three year old and sometimes he was very sneaky. One day his mom said, "I want you to do your homework". Jack didn't want to do his homework, but he knew better than to argue with his mom. + +So he went and got a sheet of paper and a pencil. He began to draw a picture of a number. With every pencil stroke, he heard a fragile sound. He worked and worked until the number was complete. + +Jack went over to his mom and showed her his work. His mom said, "That's a beautiful number, Jack." Jack was so proud that his mom liked his drawing. He smiled and hugged his mom. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was an old man who was walking through the woods. Along the way he came across a stream. The stream was very wide and it looked difficult to cross. + +The old man stopped and looked around. He saw a small boy standing near the stream. + +"Hello," said the old man. "Do you know how I can cross this stream?" + +The little boy smiled. "Yes," he said. "Follow me." + +The boy walked along the shore. He led the old man to a bridge that went across the stream. It was a very old bridge, but it was still in good condition. + +The old man thanked the boy and started to cross the bridge. It was a bit difficult, but he made it across safely. + +He thanked the boy again and continued his walk. The boy waved goodbye and the old man was on his way. +John and Max were best friends. Every morning they would mail their letters and enjoy a coffee together. Max was always so comfortable with John because he made him feel special. + +One day, John realized something was wrong. He thought Max was avoiding him. + +John went to Max's house and asked: "Why have you been so distant?" + +Max replied: "I'm sorry John, I don't think we can be friends anymore." + +John was heartbroken. It was a bad ending to their friendship. He had to say goodbye to mailing letters and drinking coffee with Max. He would never feel comfortable with anyone else like he did with Max. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Tim and Sue. They were very happy and always enjoyed going for adventures together. + +One day, Tim and Sue decided to take a walk in the woods. It was a beautiful day! As they were walking, they came across a wreck. + +"Look!" said Tim. "Let's explore!" + +Sue thought for a minute. She didn't know if it was a good idea. Finally, she said, "I don't know Tim, it looks kind of boring. What if we get hurt?" + +"No worries! We'll be careful," replied Tim. + +So they decided to take a closer look. When they peered inside the wreck, they found a hidden pathway. Inside they discovered a magical world that was filled with fun and excitement! + +Tim and Sue learned an important lesson that day. Taking risks can be fun, as long as you are careful. +One day a girl called Mary was in the garden. She had a box full of pins. Mary wanted to add the pins to her wooden house. She wanted it to look special. But she was not sure how. + +Suddenly, Mary heard a voice: "Why don't you add the pins?". Mary looked around but she could not see anyone. + +Mary had a thought.

The girl smiled and said, "Sure!" + +They started running around, running faster and faster. It was so much fun, they felt like they were flying! They were laughing and cheering. + +Suddenly, the girl lost one of her shoes! She immediately stopped running and started to cry. The little boy put his arm around her and said, "Don't worry.

When the dishwasher was opened, the baby was amazed! Inside was a shiny and flexible hose. + +The baby asked, "What's that?" +Mama said, "It's a hose. It helps us clean the dishes." + +The baby touched the hose and tried to turn it. It was so flexible that it bent and moved around. The baby was amazed and smiled. + +Mama laughed and said, "You must be careful. Don't turn it too hard. We need it to clean our dishes." + +The baby held onto the hose carefully and continued to turn it gently. Then, the mama and the baby went off to find something else to explore. +Once there was a nice boy who had never seen snow. He was very excited when he went outside one day and saw that it was snowing. He couldn't believe it! He ran outside and jumped and spun around, careful not to touch the snow. + +The boy had a bad feeling. He didn't know why, he just felt like something bad was going to happen. He made sure to tell his mama he wanted to come back inside, but she told him to explore and have fun. + +The snow was so beautiful and the boy could not resist. He tried to make a snowman, but he didn't know how. He just kept playing in the snow until he started to shiver and his arms and legs started to hurt. He told his mama he was cold, but she just said he was being silly. + +Soon, the boy started feeling worse and worse. His mama only then noticed that he looked pale and felt very cold. She realized he was very sick and that he had to go to the hospital. The doctor said he had been out in the cold for too long and his body temperature had dropped too low. He was very sick, but luckily he was going to be alright. + +The boy knew he should have listened to his bad feeling and gone back inside when he first noticed it. He had learned his lesson, he knew snow can be very nice, but he needed to be careful when playing in it +One sunny day, Max and his mom went to the harbor. Max was so excited! He saw so many boats and sea gulls by the shore. + +"Mommy, look!" he said, pointing. + +Mom smiled. "That's a really smart harbor, isn't it?" + +Max nodded and ran to one of the boats.

But when his daughter looked in the new mirror, she saw something scary: She saw herself all skinny and thin. Dad had accidentally replaced the wrong mirror. + +The daughter started to cry.

He was very ignorant and didn't understand why Anna was packing. + +The bear said: "Why are you packing?" + +Anna said: "I'm going to stay at the stream forever and ever!" + +The bear shook his head and said: "But the stream is no place to stay!

She knew this special acorn was something very special and valuable. + +Ella's mom smiled and said, "Yes, it is. Let's keep it safe and special." + +And from then on, Ella treasured her special acorn. +Every evening, just as the sun was about to set and the sky was growing gloomier, a small group of animals would gather in the village square. They were all different types of animals, from the tall giraffes to the small mice, but they had a common goal - to bring peace to the village. + +The group had made a request to the village chief: to bring peace, kindness and harmony among all the animals.

Suddenly, Michael remembered the importance of owning his youth. + +He thanked his grandmother for the reminder, and promised to make the most of it, even though he knew youth was only temporary. + +The moral of this story is to remember to make the most of your youth and do something special, as you can never go back and own it once it's gone. +Jack was outside playing in the garden.
