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.

Once there was a happy zoo owner named Mr. Wiggly, and his zoo was the best in the world. One day, a silly zoo owner named Mr. Bumble bought a very special animal from him: a giant Pink Gorilla! “This gorilla is amazing,” said Mr. Bumble. “But why are you selling it?” “Well,” said Mr. Wiggly with a twinkle in his eye, “because I have ONE important rule: Never, EVER touch the Pink Gorilla on his right shoulder.” Mr. Bumble promised not to touch it. But as soon as the Pink Gorilla arrived at his zoo, Mr. Bumble couldn’t stop wondering. “Why not?” he thought. “Will it tickle? Will it make him dance? Will something crazy happen?” Finally, he couldn’t wait any longer. One quiet day, Mr. Bumble tiptoed into the gorilla’s enclosure. The Pink Gorilla stared at him with big, curious eyes. Slowly, Mr. Bumble reached out his hand and… tapped the Pink Gorilla on his right shoulder. Suddenly, the gorilla stood up, roared, and started chasing him! “AHHHH!” Mr. Bumble screamed. He ran through the monkey house, over the giraffe field, and around the elephant pool. The Pink Gorilla stayed right behind him the whole time! Mr. Bumble jumped on a scooter, but the Pink Gorilla grabbed a skateboard and zoomed after him. He swam across a pond, but the Pink Gorilla grabbed a floaty and paddled right behind. Finally, Mr. Bumble stopped, out of breath. The Pink Gorilla leaned in close and said… “TAG! YOU’RE IT!” Then the Pink Gorilla laughed and sprinted back to his pen. From that day on, Mr. Bumble followed the rule: Never touch a Pink Gorilla’s right shoulder. You just might get a surprise!

The kids, Kendrick Jr., Anna-Louise, and Kenton, shouted with excitement, eager to go outside. But before they could head out, Mom, Robin had some exciting news to share. She smiled and said, 'I'm pregnant, and today we'll find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. Anna-Louise guessed, 'It's a girl!' while Kendrick Jr. insisted, 'It's a boy!' Little Kenton, with wide eyes, asked, 'Where is the baby?' Mom Robin chuckled and explained, 'It's in my tummy, and it will be here in a few short months.'

1. Tommy was a curious little boy with a love for breakfast. Every morning, he’d eagerly await the aroma of freshly toasted bread. One day, however, his toast turned a bit too brown - a crispy, almost burnt mess. 2. "Oh no!" he exclaimed, disappointed. His mom, ever patient, smiled. "Well, Tommy, even mistakes can sometimes lead to something good." 3. Intrigued, Tommy asked, "Really? How?" 4. "Let's experiment," she replied. They crumbled the burnt toast into a bowl and added a splash of milk, a sprinkle of sugar, and a dollop of butter. After a quick stir, a delicious, crunchy treat emerged. 5. "It's like a crispy, sweet snack!" Tommy exclaimed, his eyes wide with wonder. 6. His mom nodded. "That's the Burnt Toast Theory. Sometimes, things don’t turn out as planned, but if you approach them with a positive attitude, you might discover something new and wonderful." 7.
