This worked! The cat didn't want to let go of the buckle, and so the cat always kept the cushion neat and clean when the toy was nearby. The cat was happy and the cushion stayed clean. +The sun was shining and it was a cool day. Mommy and Daddy went out for a walk. They went past the hedge and saw a lot of birds on it. Each of them had beautiful colors. + +Mommy and Daddy pointed at the birds and said, "How cool!"

Soon, the birds flew to their garden and started to eat the food. Mommy and Daddy had lots of fun watching the birds. + +The birds stayed in Mommy and Daddy's garden until it got dark. Then, they flew back to the hedge. Mommy and Daddy said, "Bye birds! See you soon!" +Once there was a little girl called Julia. Julia liked to walk around the park. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining. + +Julia decided to stop and listen. She heard something. It was a bird singing a gentle song. Julia closed her eyes and listened - she loved the sound of the bird's voice. + +Then she heard another sound - it was louder and it got louder as Julia walked a little further. She stopped and listened carefully. It sounded like a rumbling. Suddenly, she realised it was coming from her own chest! It was her lungs - taking deep breaths of fresh air. + +Julia smiled, feeling lucky to be able to breathe in the fresh air. She continued her gentle walk around the park, feeling happy and content. +One morning, a little girl named Michelle woke up very early. She was so excited that she decided to take a walk in the woods. As she walked, she saw something that made her stop. It was a fat, juicy steak!

Michelle was so scared that she dropped the steak, and started running away. + +Back home, Michelle told her mother about the monster. Her mother warned Michelle not to go back to the woods. But Michelle wanted to get the steak, so she decided to go back the next day. + +The next day, Michelle was ready. She marched into the woods and the monster was waiting for her! This time, the monster didn't scream. But Michelle was still scared. She reached out to grab the steak, and the monster didn't do anything.

He touched the food and took a bite. But then the mouse noticed that the food had started to rot. The mouse was sad and realized that he shouldn't ever touch food he didn't know + +The moral of the story is that it's important not to touch things you don't know. It may seem safe at first, but in the end, it might not. And sometimes things that seem delicious can rot. So it's best to play it safe and never touch things you don't know! +Once upon a time, there was a boy called Sam. He was three years old, and he loved playing outside. + +Today he was playing with his baseball.

So he put the baseball down, smiled and said "OK". + +He waved goodbye to his baseball and ran inside to see Mum. +One day, Grandma had made a pot of delicious soup. But Grandma was deaf, so she couldn't hear when the kettle started whistling. This caused a delay and the soup got very hot! + +Little Tommy was very hungry, and couldn't wait to taste the soup. But even if he asked Grandma, she couldn't hear him. + +Then suddenly, Grandma noticed the steam and the hot soup!

And, even though she got a little scared, she was glad she had the courage to save the landscape. +Once there was a graceful butterfly who loved to flutter in the meadow. One day, when she was flying around, she sneezed and her tummy began to hurt. Worried, she found the wise old owl who sat in the woods. + +The old owl told her that she should not fly too hard, but instead take breaks and rest her stomach. As she listened, the butterfly learned that she must take care of her body so she can keep flying gracefully. She thanked the wise owl and made sure to follow his advice. + +The butterfly now flies easier and takes breaks to rest. She knows that if she takes care of her body, it will take care of her. This is the moral of the story: take good care of your body and it will take good care of you. +Once upon a time there was an elderly couple who lived in a small town called Oakcoast.

I am here to protect this sacred place, so you must be careful.†The gorilla bowed again in awe, and thanked the statue for its kindness. + +He spent the rest of the day exploring the temple and making new discoveries.

She opened the cupboard door and found many interesting things inside. She was so excited to explore! + +But her mom saw her and was not happy. She had to punish the little girl for not listening. The girl was upset and cried as she was sent to her room. + +The little girl learned her lesson and stayed away from the cupboard for good. She was still adventurous, just not when it came to the cupboard. +Once upon a time there was a little fox. He was always excited to explore his wide world. He decided to look around and explore. So the fox ran very fast, faster and faster. He guessed he was going faster than ever before. + +But while running, the fox didn't pay attention to the old tree that was in his path. Suddenly, the fox bumped into the tree and fell to the ground. He was so sad and scared. + +But then, he remembered the wise words of his mother. She told him to always pay attention to his surroundings, no matter how fast he was moving. The fox realized that he had been too distracted by the speed of his running and had not paid attention to his surroundings. With a heavy heart, he went home. + +The fox got his lesson that day. We must never forget to guess our surroundings, no matter how wide or fast we are moving. +Once upon a time, there was a little lamb who loved to complain. Whenever the other animals were having fun, the lamb would just stand back and complain about everything. + +One day, the lamb was feeling extra grumpy and spotted a pile of wool. It decided to take the wool, and it wrapped its entire body in it. Now it couldn't feel the wind, but it felt very comfortable so it just continued to make a lot of noise and complain. + +When the other animals saw what the lamb was up to, they decided to give it a lesson and so they all gathered together angry. They then began to shout at the lamb, calling it names and saying very harsh things. + +The lamb started to feel very scared and it was too scared to move. It stayed wrapped up in the wool for many days and eventually it died of fear. And since then, the other animals haven't let any animal complain too much. +Once there were two friends, a butterfly and a bee. They were walking through the forest when the bee suddenly noticed a tough bow in the ground. + +The butterfly asked the bee, "What is that bow doing in the ground?" + +The bee replied, "Let's find out!" + +So the two friends decided to investigate the bow. They began to tug on the bow but it wouldn't budge. It was just too tough. After they had tried their hardest, they finally realised why the bow was so tough. + +They had been trying to pull it up with their hands when they suddenly realised that if they worked together they could move it.
