Grandma’s Volcano Story Vika loved asking Grandma questions. Grandma always had great answers! “Grandma, how did the volcano get there?” Vika asked. Grandma smiled. “The Earth has big rocks under the ground. These rocks move, like boats on water. When two rocks crash together, hot liquid called magma comes up. This makes a volcano!” Vika thought about boats bumping—Splash! She could see it in her mind. “When a volcano erupts, hot lava comes out,” Grandma said. “Smoke, rocks, and ash fly in the air. That is why we must be careful.” Vika looked at the volcano near her village. Sometimes she saw smoke. “When the volcano erupts, the hot gas and lava push through a hole on top. This hole is called a crater,” Grandma explained. Vika listened. Grandma was very good at explaining things! “Did you see a volcano erupt, Grandma?” Vika asked. “Yes,” Grandma said. “When I was little, the volcano near our village erupted.” “What did you do?” Vika asked. “We stayed inside and closed all the windows and doors. Then, our village leader told us to move to a safe place.” Vika imagined Grandma walking to a safe village. She looked at the volcano. It was quiet today, but if it started smoking, she would listen to Grandma!

1. In a colorful elementary classroom, Mr. Darfi clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention. “Class, I have exciting news!” he announced with a bright smile. “Our new library corner is finally ready for you to explore!” 2. A chorus of cheers erupted as Micha, Christian, Peter, Abigail, Avisena, and Alvaro rushed toward the cozy corner filled with books. The shelves were lined with colorful covers, each one holding a new adventure. “Wow! So many books!” Micha exclaimed, running his fingers along the spines. The students took the books and read them. 3. After a while, he gathered them in a circle. “Let’s share our favorite parts,” he encouraged. Micha’s eyes sparkled. “I love the adventure! The boy in my book explores jungles and mountains.” Christian spread his arms like wings. “I wish I could fly too! Imagine soaring above the clouds.” “I want to grow my own magical garden,” Abigail said, clasping her hands together. “Wouldn’t it be amazing?” Peter sat up straight. “I’d love to be a brave prince, just like in my book.” Alvaro nudged Avisena. “The bear and the bird remind me of us. Even though they’re different, they’re still best friends.” 4. Mr. Darfi nodded, his heart full. “That’s the magic of books. They show us that we all have special stories to tell. And most importantly, they remind us that everyone belongs.” The children smiled at each other, feeling proud of who they were. “We’ll share our stories too!” Mr. Darfi beamed. “That’s the spirit. When we share our stories, we make the world a better place.” And with that, the children turned back to their books, ready to discover more adventures together.

Once upon a time, in a vast and lush green forest, there lived a wise tortoise whom everyone respected. His name was Kavi. Kavi was old but very knowledgeable. Kavi lived by the edge of a great lake. His home was hidden inside an old log covered in moss. The animals of the forest loved visiting him because Kavi always told interesting stories and gave wise counsel. One day, a big argument broke out in the forest. The rabbit, Tikur, accidentally took the acorns that the squirrel, Mirmir, had collected to his own burrow. Mirmir was very angry about this, and the animals of the forest were divided. Some supported Tikur, while others sided with Mirmir. The argument grew louder, and the animals started shouting at each other. Finally, they all decided to go see Kavi. The wise tortoise asked everyone to listen carefully and then began to speak slowly: “My dear friends, first of all, we must stay calm. Tıkır, did you take Mırmır’s acorns on purpose, or was it a mistake?” Tıkır bowed his head in sadness and said, “It was not my fault. I only picked up the ones that had fallen to the ground and took them to my burrow, thinking they were mine.”Kavi smiled and turned to Mırmır: “Mırmır, my friend, we now see that Tıkır made a mistake. But would you rather forgive this mistake, or continue fighting?”Mırmır thought for a moment and then sighed: “I know my friend didn’t do this with bad intentions. But I was very upset when I lost my acorns.” Kavi nodded and spoke wisely: “We all make mistakes from time to time. What matters is that we acknowledge our mistakes and learn to forgive one another.” Tıkır immediately stood up and promised Mırmır that he would collect plenty of acorns for him. Mırmır forgave him, and the two old friends made peace. From that day on, whenever there was a disagreement in the forest, the animals remembered Kavi’s wise words. The greatest lesson Kavi had taught them was about friendship and understanding.

In a small pond surrounded by grass, lived Mimi the Cat, Didi the Duck, and Lulu the Frog. They were close friends who loved playing together, despite their differences. Mimi ran through the grass, Didi swam in the pond, and Lulu sang happily on lily pads. One day, Mimi felt jealous, thinking Didi and Lulu’s swimming made them better than her. She spread lies to cause doubt: telling Didi that Lulu thought he was a show-off and telling Lulu that Didi found her singing annoying. Hurt by these words, Didi and Lulu grew distant, and their friendship began to crumble. Soon, the pond became dirty with algae. Mimi got stuck, unable to escape. Didi and Lulu realized they had to save her. Working together, Didi cleared a path underwater while Lulu guided him. They rescued Mimi, putting their differences aside. Mimi admitted her mistakes and apologized for her actions. Didi and Lulu forgave her, and the three friends promised to always be honest and value their bond. From then on, they celebrated their unique strengths and supported one another, realizing that true friendship thrives on trust and understanding.

One sunny afternoon, in a small neighborhood, there lived a boy named Noah. Noah was kind, always smiling, and loved spending time outdoors with his friends. His favorite place to hang out was under a big oak tree near the park, where all the neighborhood kids gathered to play. One day, while they were playing, his friend Lily asked, "Noah, I’ve noticed that you always talk about being kind and loving everyone. Why is that?" Noah paused for a moment, smiling softly. "It’s because of someone really special to me. His name is Jesus." Lily tilted her head, curious. "Who’s Jesus?" "Jesus is God’s son," Noah explained. "He came to show us how much God loves us. He taught people how to be kind, to help others, and to love even when it’s hard. And He loves us so much that He even gave His life for us, so we can always be close to God." Lily’s eyes widened. "He sounds amazing! But… how do you know He loves us?" Noah pointed at his heart. "I feel it here, every day. Whenever I’m sad, I remember that Jesus is always with me, helping me be brave. And when I make mistakes, I know He forgives me because He cares." Lily thought about it and asked, "Can I know Jesus too?" "Of course!" Noah said, excited. "You can talk to Him whenever you want, just by praying. You can read stories about Him in the Bible. He’s like a best friend who’s always there." From that day on, Noah and Lily would sit under the oak tree, talking about Jesus and sharing stories of His love. Slowly, more of their friends joined, eager to learn about this incredible friend Noah had introduced them to. They learned to be kind, to forgive, and to love each other, just as Jesus had shown.
