a boy named George. he loved drawing the stars on his notebook, and listening to his grandma’s stories. one day, everything changed—his grandma, who always smelled of lavender and gave the warmest hugs, passed away. At first, George didn’t understand. She had always been there. How could she just be… gone? Sometimes, he felt sad, and other times, he felt angry—angry that she left, angry that no one could fix it. He wanted to talk to her, but she wasn’t there. And worst of all, some days he felt okay, and that made him feel guilty. At school, things were different too. Gorges's best friend, Mia, didn’t know what to say, so she said nothing at all. His teacher, Mr. Potter, noticed that George didn’t want to play as much, and sometimes, he just stared at his notebook, drawing nothing. One day, Mr. Potter sat beside George during lunch. “I lost my grandfather when I was your age,” he said gently. “It hurt a lot. I missed him every day. But then I found a way to keep him close.” George looked up. “How?” “By remembering,” Mr. Potter said. “By talking about him, writing about him, even drawing pictures. And I let myself feel however I needed to feel.” George thought about that. That night, he picked up his notebook and drew a picture of his grandma, with her warm smile and twinkling eyes. He wrote down his favorite story she used to tell him. And when he missed her, he whispered to the stars, just like she had told him to do .things started to change. Some days were still hard. Some days, he felt okay. But he learned that it was alright to feel both. At school, he told Mia about his grandma, and she listened. At home, he made a memory box with his mum, filling it with lavender sachets, old photographs, and little notes. And every night, when George looked up at the sky, he remembered that the people we love never really leave us—they just whisper from the stars.

Once in a peaceful little town by the sea, there lived a cat named Avery. Avery was a fluffy, white and faun ragdoll who loved to eat more than anything in the world. He especially loved fish, and every day, he would sit by the docks waiting for the fishermen to return with their catch. The fishermen were kind and often gave Avery a fish or two. But Avery was greedy. No matter how many fish he got, he always wanted more. One sunny afternoon, as the fishermen were unloading their boats, Avery saw the biggest fish he had ever laid eyes on. It was shiny and silver, and Avery’s mouth watered just looking at it. “I must have that fish!” Avery thought, though he had already eaten two smaller ones that day. But the big fish wasn’t for Avery. It was the prize catch of the day, and the fishermen planned to sell it at the market. Avery, however, was too greedy to think about that. So, while everyone was busy, he quietly snuck up, grabbed the fish in his mouth, and ran off. Avery was thrilled! He imagined feasting on the giant fish all by himself. But as he hurried to his secret spot, he crossed a narrow bridge over a stream. When Avery looked down, he saw something amazing — another cat in the water holding an even bigger fish! Of course, it was just his own reflection, but Avery didn’t know that. “I want that fish too!” he thought greedily, dropping the fish from his mouth into the water as he tried to snatch the one he saw below. SPLASH! The fish fell into the stream and swam away, leaving Avery with nothing. His big, shiny fish was gone, and so was the reflection he had mistaken for another prize. Avery sat by the stream, sad and hungry. When he returned to the docks, the fishermen had packed up and left, and there were no more fish to be found. Avery realised that his greed had cost him his meal. From that day on, Avery learned an important lesson: being greedy can make you lose what you already have. He still loved fish, but he never took more than he needed again.

My name is Aqma, and I don’t think my name is cool. Why did I have to be named Aqma? Wouldn’t Leo or Max sound much better? Today is my first day of school, and I’m so nervous. What if my classmates laugh when I introduce myself? Just like the kids in my neighborhood who teased me. Mom always said, “They only teased you because they liked you.” I wasn’t so sure. They said my name sounded strange and made up silly rhymes. I chased them until they ran away, laughing. Ever since then, I wished for a cooler name. “Aqma, let’s go! It’s time for school,” Mom called. I sighed and followed her. On the way, I thought hard. Maybe I could mumble my name, or pretend I forgot it when it’s my turn. When we arrived, Mom gave me a hug and said, “You’ll do great, Aqma. Your name is perfect, just like you.” As I walked into class, lost in thought, BUMP! I ran into a girl with curly hair. “Oops! Sorry!” I said quickly. “No, it’s okay! Hey, what’s your name?” she asked, smiling. “Oh no, this is it,” I thought. “I’m Aq... Aqma,” I mumbled. “Aqma? That’s so cool!” she said brightly. “I’m Rina.” “Wait, you think Aqma is cool?” I blinked, surprised. “Of course! Aqma sounds unique and strong,” Rina replied. “We should be friends!” Before I knew it, other kids gathered around. “Aqma is a great name!” one said. I couldn’t stop smiling. I never thought anyone would like my name, let alone think it was cool. By the end of the day, I felt proud. Mom was right all along. My name is Aqma, and I think it’s VERY cool!

One morning at school, Katie was walking to her classroom when she saw Sarah sitting alone by the playground. Sarah had always been mean to Katie. She would make fun of her shoes, call her silly names, and sometimes push her when no one was looking. Katie didn’t like Sarah, and she definitely didn’t want to help her. But as Katie walked past, Sarah called out, “Hey, Katie! Can you help me with my math homework? I don't understand it.” Sarah started to cry. Katie stopped. Her first thought was, "Why should I help her? She’s never been nice to me." Katie felt her cheeks getting hot, and her fists clenched. She wanted to turn away and keep walking. After all, Sarah had been so rude to her before. Why should she be nice now? But then, something in her heart made her pause. She remembered what her mom always said: "Two wrongs don’t make a right." Katie wasn’t sure what that meant exactly, but she knew her mom would want her to be kind and helpful, even if it was hard. Katie took a deep breath and walked over to Sarah. "I’ll help you," she said, trying not to sound too grumpy. Sarah looked surprised but didn't argue. "Thank you so much, Katie." She said with teary eyes. Katie sat down beside her and helped Sarah with the math problems. They worked quietly for a few minutes, and slowly, Sarah began to smile. “Oh, I get it now,” Sarah said, her face lighting up. “Thanks, Katie. I didn’t know how to do this before." Sarah hugged Katie tightly. Katie felt proud of herself. It was hard to help someone who had been mean, but she felt like she had made the right choice. Even though Sarah wasn’t always kind to her, Katie knew she could still be the bigger person. As the bell rang and Katie stood up to go to class, Sarah said, “Hey, um, sorry about the stuff I said before. I wasn’t very nice.” Katie smiled and nodded. “It’s okay,” she said. She didn’t expect Sarah to change overnight, but at least she knew she had done something good.
