Jeremiah Johnikin was a brave sort of fellow And so friendly that when you saw him, he would always say hello Jeremiah Johnikin lived in the kingdom of a mighty king Who had a huge mess A mess that needed a hero to make it less and less You see, there lived in the forest next to the castle A giant dragon bird who always wanted to battle None of the brave knights had the courage to go “Us fight that bird? Oh no! No!” Then came Jeremiah Johnikin handsome as ever And with a confident grin he said “I will go sire, and do as you desire, I will battle this dragon bird” When everyone heard they spread the word Jeremiah Johnikin was to rid the land Of this pest that had gotten out of hand Into the woods Jeremiah went, to face that terrible dragon bird Whose scream was the most horrible thing you ever heard But Jeremiah Johnikin, brave was he, he had no fear He went where the other knights did not dare Up to that giant dragon bird, his sword in the air With one giant swipe, a jab and a smack Jeremiah Johnikin beat that dragon bird back It screamed and wailed, then lowered its tail Then fell sideways off the trail. Jeremiah Johnikin was able to see That the dragon bird was tied to a tree It wanted to go home, that’s why it screamed so loud And frightened everyone in the crowd Jeremiah Johnikin took his sword and cut the rope That had robbed the giant dragon bird of hope The Hope of going home So up he flew and away he went Free at last from his terrible torment.

It all started one rainy evening when my husband and I were driving home from work. We heard a faint meowing coming from under the bonnet of our car. We immediately pulled over and opened the bonnet, only to find a tiny kitten huddled up and shivering. Without hesitation, we scooped him up and brought him home with us. We named him Almond because he is as sweet as a nut. From that moment on, he became a part of our family. We showered him with love and care, making sure he was well-fed and had a warm place to sleep. Almond quickly adapted to his new home and became the center of our world. He would greet us at the door every day, purring and rubbing against our legs. He would follow us around the house, always wanting to be near us. And when we would sit down to relax, he would curl up on our laps, his soft purrs filling the room.

Max was a whirlwind of energy, always rushing around, never stopping to appreciate the little things. His mom would make him a delicious breakfast, and he'd just grab it and run off to school, barely saying thank you. His friends would spend hours building an amazing Lego castle, and he'd just barge in and knock it down, not even apologizing. One day, a strange old woman with twinkling eyes appeared in his room. She presented him with a pair of peculiar glasses, "These," she said, "are 'Gratitude Glasses'. They allow you to see the world through the eyes of those who truly appreciate it." Curious, Max put them on. Suddenly, the world transformed! His mom's face, usually a bit tired, now radiated joy as she prepared his breakfast. He saw the effort she put into each pancake, the love she poured into every sprinkle. His friends' eyes sparkled with pride as they meticulously placed each Lego brick, their laughter echoing with genuine happiness. Max felt a strange new emotion – a warmth in his chest. He realized how much happiness he had been missing by not appreciating the kindness and effort of others. He apologized to his friends, helped them rebuild their castle, and even thanked his mom for the delicious breakfast. From that day on, Max wore his "Gratitude Glasses" every day, not literally, but in his mind. He started to notice the small things – the beautiful sunset, the chirping of birds, the kindness of strangers. He learned to appreciate the efforts of others and to express his gratitude. He realized that true happiness wasn't about getting everything he wanted, but about cherishing the kindness and joy that surrounded him.

في إحدى الليالي المليئة بالأضواء والألوان، كان السيرك الكبير يفتح أبوابه لاستقبال الزوار. وكان الفيل رامبو، أشهر نجوم السيرك، يستعد لعرضه المميز. كان رامبو ليس فقط قوياً وذكياً، بل كان أيضاً لطيفاً مع جميع الحيوانات. لكن تلك الليلة لم تكن عادية. فبينما كان الجميع مشغولين بالتحضير، اختفى الحبل الذهبي الذي يستخدمه رامبو في عرضه الشهير بالقفز فوق الدوائر المضيئة. كان ذلك الحبل خاصاً جداً، إذ أهداه له جده عندما كان صغيراً. شعر رامبو بالقلق، لكنه قرر أن يتحلى بالشجاعة وأن يبحث عن الحبل بنفسه. الرحلة إلى الكواليس بدأ رامبو رحلته في أرجاء السيرك. ذهب أولاً إلى قفص القرد ميمو، المعروف بحبه للأشياء اللامعة. قال رامبو: – "ميمو، هل رأيت حبلي الذهبي؟" ضحك ميمو وقال: – "لا يا رامبو، لكنني رأيت الثعلب روبي يركض باتجاه المطبخ!" لقاء مع روبي ركض رامبو نحو المطبخ حيث وجد الثعلب روبي منهمكاً في إعداد كعكة ضخمة. سأله رامبو: – "روبي، هل رأيت حبلي الذهبي؟" ابتسم روبي وقال: – "رأيته! كان النمر ريكس يحمله إلى قفصه." المفاجأة عند النمر ريكس وصل رامبو إلى قفص النمر ريكس، وكان متردداً قليلاً لأن ريكس كان معروفاً بجدّيته. قال رامبو: – "ريكس، سمعت أنك رأيت حبلي الذهبي. هل هذا صحيح؟" أجاب ريكس بابتسامة نادرة: – "نعم، وجدته بجانب النافورة وأحضرتُه إلى هنا لأحتفظ به حتى تعود. كنت أعلم أنه يخصك." عودة الحبل والعرض المدهش شكر رامبو النمر ريكس بحرارة، وعاد إلى المسرح ومعه الحبل الذهبي. وبفضل شجاعته وتصميمه، قدم عرضاً مذهلاً جعل الجميع يصفقون بحماس. في نهاية الليلة، تعلم رامبو درساً مهماً: أن الصبر والتعاون مع الأصدقاء يمكن أن يحل أي مشكلة.
