At the playground, Rina met a boy named Aqma who was sitting quietly on a seat. Startled, Aqma asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? What are you doing here alone?” Rina replied confidently, “Why, just because I'm a girl I can't come here by myself?” Aqma moved her gaze and just sat silently watching Rina playing by herself.

You hurt your leg!” Aqma exclaimed. Their argument was punctuated by the growing sounds of children on the playground." "Hurry, get up before you're trampled!" Aqma urged. "I can barely stand!" Rina retorted. Aqma offered his hand. "You said you just fell, but you can't stand. Let me help." Rina accepted, and Aqma helped her to stand up. In a quieter place, Aqma tried to clean Rina's wound. “How is it? Does it feel better?” asked Aqma. “Yes, better, thank you.” Rina replied softly. “I'm Rina, by the way.” “I'm Aqma.” Aqma and Rina shook hands. “Thank you, you're better than I thought,” Rina said with a smile. Before it got too late, Aqma helped Rina back to her house. “Rina!” said Rina's mother. “Are you alright?” “I'm fine, mom, thanks to Aqma.” said Rina. Rina's mother turned to Aqma. “Thank you for accompanying Rina to play and helping her.” said Rina's mother with a smile. Before Aqma left, Rina stopped her. “Aqma! Let's meet and play together tomorrow” Smiling, Aqma agreed. From that day on, Rina and Aqma became close friends, and shared many adventures together.

Suddenly, there path blocked by a fallen log. The snake tried to push the log away but couldn’t. He looked around for help, but none of the animals trusted him because of his earlier boasting.

One sunny afternoon, while Felix was relaxing under a tree, he heard the rustle of leaves. It was a hungry wolf named Bruno, prowling for food. Bruno spotted Felix and growled, “Ah, Felix! You’ll make a fine meal for me today!” Felix, though startled, didn’t show fear. Instead, he smiled and said, “Oh, mighty Bruno! Eating me would be such a waste. I’m too small to fill your big tummy. But I know where you can find a huge feast!” Bruno paused and asked suspiciously, “Where is this feast?” Felix pointed toward the nearby well and said, “Look inside. There’s a fat, juicy lamb waiting at the bottom. You’ll love it!” Bruno rushed to the well. He peered inside and saw his own reflection in the water. Thinking it was the lamb, he leapt in, only to splash into the cold water! Felix laughed from the edge of the well, saying, “Dear Bruno, always look before you leap!” Felix trotted off happily, leaving Bruno drenched and grumpy.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Caribay. Caribay was the daughter of the sun and the moon, and she had a voice that was as beautiful as the birds in the sky. One day, as she was walking through the forest, she saw five big white eagles flying in the sky. Their feathers were so white and beautiful that Caribay wanted to have one in her hands. She followed the eagles through the forests, rivers, and deserts, until they reached the Andean Mountain Range. But just as she was about to reach out and touch the eagles, a cold wave turned them into glaciers. Caribay was heartbroken. She started to cry, and as she cried, she sang a beautiful song. Her voice was so lovely that even the wind stopped to listen. Her tears fell onto the eagles' claws, and suddenly, the white eagles woke up and started shaking their big wings. They covered the mountain with their snowy feathers. Since that day, whenever it snows in the mountains of Merida, it's because the eagles shake their wings and cover the mountain with white feathers. Caribay learned an important lesson that day. She learned that sometimes, even when things seem impossible, a little bit of love and determination can make a big difference.

Mrs. Green returned from the grocery store with her arms full of bags, but when she reached her front door, she realized her house key was missing. She searched her pockets, purse, and shopping bags, but the key was nowhere to be found. As she started to panic, her young neighbor Emma, an eight-year-old with a cheerful smile, noticed her distress and asked what was wrong. Mrs. Green explained her problem, and Emma, always quick with ideas, suggested checking the sidewalk in case the key had fallen out during the walk home. When Mrs. Green said she had already looked everywhere, Emma had another suggestion. She offered to pray with Mrs. Green to ask for help in finding the key, explaining that prayer was powerful and that God was always listening. Though not accustomed to praying, Mrs. Green agreed, touched by Emma’s confidence. They sat together on the steps, and Emma led a simple, heartfelt prayer, asking God to help them find the lost key. Mrs. Green felt a sense of comfort and hope after the prayer, even though she wasn’t sure what to expect. Afterward, the two of them retraced Mrs. Green’s steps, searching once again in the areas they had already checked. Just as Mrs. Green was about to lose hope, Emma called out from near the bushes by the front steps. There, hidden in the leaves, was the missing key. Mrs. Green was overjoyed and couldn’t believe it. She hugged Emma and thanked her, feeling grateful not only for finding the key but also for the reminder of the power of prayer. Emma simply smiled and said she believed God had helped them. From that moment on, Mrs. Green never forgot the lesson Emma had taught her. Whenever she encountered a problem, whether big or small, she remembered to turn to prayer for guidance, just like Emma had shown her. And remarkably, things always seemed to work out in the end.
