Bert was no ordinary dog. He was big, strong, and had the softest brown eyes. But what made him truly special was his job—he was a therapy dog. Every day, Bert and his owner, Mrs. G, put on his blue therapy vest and visited schools to help kids feel calm and happy. Some were shy, others nervous, but when Bert walked in, smiles grew, and hearts felt lighter. Bert loved belly rubs, gentle pats, and listening to kids read. It made him feel loved and important. One chilly afternoon, after visiting a school, Bert and Mrs. G were heading out when—slam!—a heavy door shut on Bert’s tail. He yelped. Mrs. G rushed to his side, worried and upset. She quickly took him to the veterinarian, who said part of Bert’s tail needed to be docked to heal properly. Bert had surgery and came home with a short, bandaged tail. But the hardest part wasn't the pain—it was missing the kids. He sat by the door every morning, waiting to go back. Weeks later, Bert had healed. His fur grew back, and one sunny morning, Mrs. G said, “It’s time.” Bert’s tail wagged happily. Back at school, the kids cheered. They didn’t care about his shorter tail—they were just happy their friend had returned. Bert was back, doing what he loved most: helping others, one wag at a time.

1. The Clever Answer Title: The Clever Answer Characters: Emperor Akbar, Birbal, Courtiers Setting: Akbar’s Royal Court Narrator: So, my little friends, one fine morning, Akbar was sitting on his grand throne. He looked around at his courtiers, and an idea popped. He wanted to test Birbal’s intelligence. So, guess what he did? He asked a very tricky question! [Pause for children to guess the question] Akbar: "Birbal, tell me-how many crows are in my kingdom?" Akbar: "Birbal, tell me—how many crows are in my kingdom?" Narrator: Oh dear! That’s an impossible question. The courtiers gasped. How could anyone count all the crows in the kingdom? But Birbal, oh, he didn’t even blink! Birbal: "Your Majesty, there are exactly fifty-three thousand three hundred and forty-two crows in your kingdom." [Simplified to: "Your Majesty, there are many, many crows in your kingdom."] Akbar: "And what if I find more crows than that?" Birbal: "Then, Your Majesty, some crows have come to visit their relatives here." Akbar: "And if there are fewer?" Birbal: "That simply means some of our crows have gone on vacation to another kingdom!" Narrator: The entire court erupted in laughter. Akbar clapped his hands and said, "Birbal, you never fail to amuse me with your intelligence. Well, done!" Moral: Intelligence and presence of mind can help you find answers to even the trickiest questions. Takeaways: • Quick thinking can turn a problematic situation into an opportunity. • Humor and wit can defuse tension and win admiration. • Smart solutions do not always need complex answers.

Once upon a time in the whimsical town of Sweetville, Halloween was just around the corner, and the Cookie Adventure Playground was getting ready for its most exciting event of the year: the Spooktacular Cookie Bash! As the leaves turned vibrant shades of orange and gold, the playground transformed into a magical realm of cookie-themed Halloween fun. Giant gingerbread men decorated the entrance, and the sweet scent of sugar cookies wafted through the air, inviting everyone in for a day of adventure. **The Cookie Maze** Families began their journey through the Cookie Maze, where paths were lined with candy corn and gummy worms. Inside, little goblins and ghouls searched for hidden treats and spooky surprises. The maze twisted and turned, revealing towering cookie ghosts and delightful chocolate chip witches that offered sweet hints and rewards. **Cookie Decorating Station** Next, everyone gathered at the Cookie Decorating Station, where kids donned chef hats and aprons. With an array of colourful icing, sprinkles, and edible glitter, they transformed plain cookies into spooky masterpieces. From monstrous mummies to adorable pumpkin faces, creativity flourished. Each child has a box of tasty creations to share (or sneakily eat) later. **Monster Mash Dance Party** As the sun set, the playground came alive with the Monster Mash Dance Party. Families boogied alongside cookie-costumed characters, dancing to fun Halloween tunes. Laughter filled the air as everyone joined the conga line, wiggling and jiggling under glowing, spooky lights. The night's highlight was the best-dressed costume contest, where kids showed off their cookie-themed outfits to win a year’s supply of cookies! With fireworks, camp fire, marshmallows, slime and cooking

1.A lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little mouse came upon him unexpectedly, and in her fright and haste to get away, ran across the lion's nose. 2..Awoken from his dreamy nap, the lion laid his huge paw angrily on the tiny creature to kill her. “Spare me!" begged the poor mouse. "Please let me go and someday I will surely repay you." The lion was amused to think that a mouse could ever help him. But he was generous and finally let the mouse go. 3.Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the lion was caught in a hunter's net. Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The mouse knew the voice and quickly found the lion struggling in the net. 4.Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the lion was free. “You laughed when I said I would repay you,” said the mouse. “Now you see that even a mouse can help a lion.”
