**Winter Friendship** Winter came to the village, covering everything in white snow. Mimi the Cat and Didi the Duck were thrilled. "Let’s celebrate winter with Lulu!" said Mimi. "Yes!" Didi agreed. "We can play in the snow and drink warm soup together." They walked to Lulu the Frog’s house near the pond and knocked. "Lulu? Are you home?" Didi called. But no one answered. Mimi peeked inside. "Lulu isn’t here," she said, confused. They searched behind the house, under a tree, and around the frozen pond. No sign of Lulu. "Where could she be?" asked Didi, shivering. "Do you think she’s gone forever?" "I hope not," Mimi said sadly. "Lulu is our best friend." As they sat under a big tree feeling down, Mimi suddenly remembered. "Wait! Frogs hibernate in winter!" "What does that mean?" asked Didi. "It means Lulu isn’t gone," Mimi explained. "She’s sleeping through the winter to stay safe from the cold." "She’s just sleeping?" Didi’s eyes widened. "Exactly," Mimi said. Cheering up, the friends decided to make something special for Lulu. They built a snowman outside her house and left a note: "We miss you, Lulu! See you in spring!" When spring arrived, Lulu woke up and stretched. She saw the melted snowman and the note. Smiling, she hopped to the pond, where Mimi and Didi were waiting. "Lulu!" they cheered, running to her. "I’m so happy to see you!" Lulu said. "We missed you so much," said Didi. The three friends hugged, laughing. Mimi and Didi learned that even if a friend disappears for a while, it doesn’t mean they’re gone.

One sunny day, Lina was helping her father, a kind gardener, plant seeds in their garden. She asked, "Papa, why don’t we plant anything near the dark forest?" Her father smiled. "The forest may seem scary, Lina, but fear is like darkness—it feels big, but it shrinks when you face it." Lina frowned. "But what if it doesn’t? What if something bad happens?" Her father held up a small seed. "Do you know what this is?" "A seed," Lina replied. "Yes," her father said. "It’s tiny, but with care, it grows into a strong tree. Courage is like this seed. It starts small but grows every time you face your fears." That evening, Lina thought about her father’s words. The next morning, she stood at the edge of the forest, holding her lucky stone. Her heart raced as she stepped inside. The tall trees cast long shadows, and strange sounds filled the air. But Lina remembered, "One step at a time." As she walked, she noticed wildflowers and sunlight peeking through the trees. The forest wasn’t as scary as she thought.
