Once upon a sun-dappled hillside, there lived a shepherd boy. His days were spent tending to his master’s flock of sheep in a quiet corner of the forest. Now, this job might sound idyllic—green meadows, fluffy sheep, and all—but it had its moments of monotony. The shepherd boy’s master, however, had given him a stern warning: Beware of the wolves. “If a wolf attacks,” the master said, “run to the village and cry for help.” And so, our shepherd boy went about his days, occasionally yawning as the sheep grazed. But mischief stirred within him. One day, he decided to play a prank. He ran to the village, shouting, “Wolf! Wolf!” The villagers dropped everything and rushed to his aid, only to find him doubled over with laughter. It was all a joke. The boy repeated this trick a few times, and the villagers, though annoyed, forgave him. But then, when a real wolf appeared, fangs bared and hungry eyes fixed on the sheep, the boy cried out again: “Wolf! Wolf!” This time, the villagers hesitated. “He can’t fool us twice!” they said, ignoring his desperate pleas. Tragically, many sheep fell victim to the wolf. Moral of the Story: Be honest in your words and deeds.

I’m Apple, and I’m a bunny. This is my cozy little home! I really love it here! But being part of the Apple family can be tough sometimes. We’ve planted so many fruits and veggies! Oh no! The crows keep swooping down, stealing our hard work! When the villagers blame us for the food shortage, it makes me sad that there’s nothing left to eat! It feels like we’re always on the menu! People think we’re the Apple family because we love apples, but it’s really because we have a huge apple farm. Life is hard when every-bunny is fighting all the time. It’s like a constant game of hide and seek! Then one day, a red fox named Flower came to our village. Some animals were curious, but some bunnies were scared. I was nervous too and wondered why she was being so nice. I wanted to say hi, but I just couldn’t because I was too shy. It felt like my heart was doing a little pitter-patter. Flower started helping us out, working side by side and showing us how to farm better. She helped us grow our fruits and veggies really well! She told tail-wagging tales about her adventures and how she learned different ways to plant seeds. I started to feel more comfortable around her as I listened. One day, while we were planting together, I noticed that Flower struggled to reach a high branch. Gathering my courage, I hopped over to her. “Do you want me to help?” I squeaked, my heart racing like a hare. She looked surprised but smiled back at me. “That would be great, Apple!” I felt a thrill inside when she said my name! I helped her reach the branch, and we laughed together as we worked. It was the first time I’d really spoken to her, and it made me realize that talking to new friends wasn’t so scary. Who knew making friends could be so paws-itively delightful? As days went by, Flower and I grew closer. I learned she had a big heart and wanted to help our village. Together, we found ways to scare away the crows with shiny distractions. Talk about a sparkly strategy!
