There was a frog named Sammy. Sammy was a happy frog, he loved to splash in his little pond and swim around. His friend, Flipp the Duck, was his best friend. They lived together in their little pond. Sammy hopped around and Flipp paddled through the water. They played hard all day splashing around and then slept on the sandy bank. One day Sammy brought up the fact that they hadn’t gotten rain for a while. Flipp agreed but they shrugged it off and continued to play. They continued to think to themselves that it would rain but after a week they still hadn’t gotten rain. Their pond began to dry up. One day Sammy and Flipp woke up and when they walked down to their pond excited to play, they were met with a dry hole. What was once their pond was now a giant muddy hole. Sammy couldn’t believe it “what are we going to do without a pond?” he muttered. Flipp began to say, “maybe it will rain and then it will fill back up”. Sammy agreed and he and Flipp sat in their muddy hole waiting for even the slightest drop of rain. Days passed without any rain the days were filled with boredom, Sammy began to ask, “will it ever rain?” Flipp responded “it will one day we just have to be patient”. One day while Flipp was curled up and Sammy was staring at the sky, Sammy felt a small drop on his forehead. “Flipp get up I felt a drop!” he screamed, Flipp perked up and looked at the sky more drops began to fall. They both stood up and started leaping with joy as it began to rain harder and harder. They watched as their pond slowly filled back up Sammy yelled “cannon ball!” and jumped in, Flipp watched and couldn’t wait any longer and then he splashed into their pond. They both splashed each other as the rain began to fall even harder. Every day they would play in their pond, and it continued to rain every day for them and they never had to worry about a dry pond again.

Once upon a time, in a cozy little house nestled at the edge of town, there lived a 7-year-old boy named Michael. The house stood like a welcoming beacon, its warm yellow exterior complemented by a vibrant garden blooming with roses, daisies, and sunflowers.

Michael lived with his grandparents, Andrew and Diana, in a home filled with love and laughter. The living room was adorned with photographs capturing moments of joy and cherished memories.

Once upon a time there were three sisters. The first sister was very tall and strong. Her name was Corn Girl. She wore a pale green dress and had long yellow hair that blew in the wind. Corn Girl liked to stand straight and tall, but the hot sun burned her feet and hurt her. The longer she stood in her field, the hungrier she got. Weeds were growing around her and choking her. The second sister, Bean Girl, was thin and quick. But Bean Girl was not very strong. She couldn’t stand up. She was good at making food, but she was always dirty and wet because she had to lie on the ground. The third sister, Squash Girl, was short and wide. She wore a yellow dress. She was hungry, too. For a long time, the sisters didn’t get along. They each wanted to be independent and free. So Corn Girl stood there with her sunburned feet and got hungrier and hungrier. And Bean Girl lay there on the ground and got dirtier and wetter. And the little short sister, Squash Girl, was hungry, too. One day Bean Girl asked Corn Girl, “What if I feed you some good food, and you can hold me up so I don’t have to lie on the ground?” Then little Squash Girl called up to her tall sister, “What if I lie on your feet and shade them so you won’t get sunburned?” So the Three Sisters learned to work together, so that everyone would be healthier and happier. Corn Girl helped Bean Girl stand up. Bean Girl fed Corn Girl and Squash Girl good food. And Squash Girl shaded Corn Girl’s feet and kept the weeds from growing up around them.

A long time ago, in the vast African savannah, giraffes had short necks just like people. They roamed the land, munching on grass and low-hanging leaves. Among them was a particularly curious giraffe named Gigi. One sunny day, Gigi's friend, Chicken, decided to play a little trick. Chicken knew that Gigi loved palm leaf soup more than anything else in the world. So, Chicken made a big pot of the delicious soup and hid it high up in the tallest tree. When Gigi caught the scent of the soup, her mouth watered, and she couldn't resist. She looked up at the tree and saw the pot of soup perched on a high branch. Determined to taste it, Gigi began to stretch her neck. She stretched and stretched, but the soup was still out of reach. Gigi didn't give up. She kept stretching her neck higher and higher until, finally, she managed to get her head into the tree. But as she tried to take a sip, her head got stuck between the branches! Poor Gigi was trapped. For 100 years, Gigi remained stuck in the tree. The other animals tried to help, but it took a long time to figure out how to free her. Eventually, they worked together and managed to rescue Gigi. When she was finally free, Gigi's neck had become incredibly long from all that stretching. From that day on, all giraffes had long necks, just like Gigi. They could reach the highest leaves and enjoy the tastiest treats, all thanks to Gigi's love for palm leaf soup and her determination to reach it. And that's how the giraffe got its long neck.

Luis es un profesor de inglés que pasa todo el día trabajando para mantener a su familia. Su esposa, Mariana, solía ser muy activa, pero desde el nacimiento de su segunda hija ha estado lidiando con una depresión que la mantiene aislada en casa. Sus hijos, Mateo de 4 años y Sofía de 2, requieren constante atención, lo que hace que la carga emocional y física sea aún mayor para Mariana. Un día, Luis llega a casa agotado y encuentra el hogar en completo desorden. Juguetes esparcidos por el suelo, platos sucios en el fregadero y ropa sin doblar sobre el sillón. Frustrado, le dice a Mariana: ¿Otra vez está todo hecho un desastre? ¿Por qué no has lavado los platos? Mariana, sin levantar la mirada, suspira y responde: No tienes idea de lo que es estar aquí todo el día... Intento hacer cosas, pero a veces simplemente no puedo. Luis, cansado y con poca paciencia, replica: Yo también estoy agotado, pero igual tengo que hacer todo lo que hace falta. Mientras discuten, Mateo se acerca con un dibujo en la mano y una gran sonrisa: Miren, hice una casa bonita para todos nosotros. ¿Les gusta? Luis y Mariana, inmersos en su conflicto, apenas le prestan atención. En su frustración, han perdido de vista lo más importante: su familia. Luis suspira y, por un momento, deja de lado su enojo. Observa a Mariana con más atención y le pregunta con sinceridad: Mariana... ¿Cómo te sientes en realidad? ¿Cómo puedo ayudarte? Mariana lo mira sorprendida, con un destello de alivio en los ojos. Gracias, Luis... Me siento abrumada. Si me ayudas un poco con los niños, quizá pueda organizar mejor las cosas. Luis asiente y, en lugar de seguir discutiendo, decide tomar a Mateo en brazos y ayudar.
