A story by Abrar, Grade 8/4

At first, the boy hammered many nails. But after a few weeks, he began to control his anger and used fewer nails. Finally, one day, he didn’t get angry at all. He told the old man, who then told him to remove one nail each day he stayed calm.

When all the nails were removed, the old man took the boy to the fence and said, "Look at the holes. Even though you removed the nails, the fence is not the same. This is what happens when you hurt others with your words or actions."

The boy understood the lesson and promised to always think before he acted.

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a young woman named Ella who was known for her kindness. One day, she stumbled upon an injured bird in the forest. She took it home and nursed it back to health. When the bird was ready to fly, it gifted Ella a magical seed. She planted it, and it grew into a tree that bore golden fruit. The fruit brought prosperity to her village, and Ella was hailed as a hero. However, a neighboring kingdom, envious of their wealth, declared war. Ella, with her wisdom and kindness, negotiated peace, uniting the two kingdoms. She was then crowned queen, ruling with justice and compassion, ensuring prosperity and harmony for all.

The Moral: Kindness and wisdom can overcome even the greatest challenges.

"Ella and the Golden Fruit."

The Porridge Pincher by David Wood, illustrated by Tom Percival, is a delightful retelling of the well-known fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The story begins with a curious young girl wandering through the forest until she comes across a small, welcoming house. Without thinking twice, she knocks on the door, but when no one answers, she decides to step inside.

On the table, she finds three bowls of porridge. Hungry and intrigued, she tastes the first bowl but finds it too hot. The second one is too cold, but the third tastes perfect — just right — and she eats it all up. Afterward, she looks around the cozy room and sees three chairs. She tries the biggest one, but it’s too hard; the middle one is too soft; and the smallest one feels just right — until it suddenly breaks beneath her.

Feeling tired from all the exploring, she goes upstairs and finds three neatly made beds. The first bed is too big, the second too soft, and the third one just right. She lies down, feeling comfortable, and soon drifts off to sleep.

A little while later, the owners of the house — a family of three bears — return home. They quickly notice that something is wrong. Their porridge has been eaten, their chairs have been moved, and one is broken. When they go upstairs, they discover the little girl sleeping peacefully in the baby bear’s bed. Startled, she wakes up, screams in fright, and runs out of the house as fast as she can.

By the end, the girl learns an important lesson about respecting other people’s property and understanding that curiosity and carelessness can lead to trouble. The story’s gentle humor and lively illustrations make it both entertaining and educational, reminding children that good manners, respect, and honesty are always the right choices.

Title: The Lion and the Mouse

Author: Aesop

Characters:

• The Lion

• The Mouse

Setting (Place):
In the jungle

Beginning:
One day, a lion was sleeping under a big tree. Suddenly, a little mouse ran over his paw. The lion woke up angrily and caught the tiny mouse.

Middle:
The mouse was very scared and said, “Please don’t eat me! One day I will help you.” The lion laughed but decided to let the mouse go.

End:
A few days later, the lion was caught in a hunter’s net. He roared loudly for help. The mouse heard him and ran quickly to help. The mouse bit the ropes until the lion was free.

Problem:
The lion was trapped in the hunter’s net.

Solution:
The mouse chewed the ropes and freed the lion.

Moral / Lesson:
Even small friends can help in big ways.

The mousedeer calmly tells the lion that he is willing to go with him, but first the lion should know something important: there is another lion in the forest who claims to be the strongest and wants to take over the area. The mousedeer says he has seen this “other lion” hiding in a deep well nearby. The real lion becomes angry and refuses to believe that anyone could be stronger than him. His pride pushes him to demand proof.

The mousedeer guides the lion to the well and asks him to look inside. When the lion looks down, he sees his own reflection in the dark water and mistakes it for another lion challenging him. Furious, he roars, and the reflection roars back. Convinced that this “other lion” is mocking him, he leaps forward to attack. Instead of reaching an enemy, he falls straight into the well.

Unable to climb out, the lion is trapped. The mousedeer safely steps away, relieved that his clever thinking saved him. The story ends by showing that intelligence and quick thinking can defeat even the strongest opponent.
