Mello was excited but nervous. It was his first day at a new school, and he hoped to make friends. As he walked into the classroom, he noticed something right away—he was the only Black student. The other kids glanced at him but didn’t say anything. Mello took a deep breath and sat quietly. He wasn’t sure if anyone would talk to him, but he knew he had to try. At recess, Mello saw a group of kids playing soccer. He loved soccer, but he was unsure if they’d let him join. Gathering his courage, he walked over and asked, “Can I play too?” The kids exchanged glances. “Where are you from?” asked Tristan. “I’m from a different school,” Mello replied. “But I love soccer, just like you.” Skylar looked at him and said, “We’ve never had a friend like you before.” Mello smiled and said, “That’s okay! I’ve never had friends like you either. We can learn from each other.” There was a pause, then Tristan passed him the ball. “Sure! Let’s play!” As they played, Mello felt his nervousness fade. He dribbled, passed, and even scored! The kids were laughing and playing together, and Mello realized it didn’t matter that he looked different—what mattered was that they were having fun. After the game, Skylar told Mello, “You’re really good! I’m glad you played with us.” Later, back in class, the teacher noticed Mello looking unsure. She walked over and said, “If you ever need help or want to talk, I’m here for you.” Mello smiled, feeling grateful to have a trusted adult in the classroom. The next day, the teacher led a discussion about kindness and making everyone feel welcome. Tristan suggested, “We could ask more questions to get to know new students.” Skylar added, “We can learn from each other’s differences.” Mello realized that being different wasn’t something to hide—it made him special. His new friends saw that their differences made them stronger together. In the end, Mello knew that being unique wasn’t just okay—it was beautiful.

A day on a beach

Il était une fois, dans un petit village, un chaton nommé Milo. Milo était très curieux et aimait explorer tout ce qui l’entourait. Il vivait avec une gentille vieille dame qui s'appelait Mamie Jeanne, dans une maison remplie de plantes, de coussins moelleux, et d’une grande bibliothèque remplie de livres. Un jour, alors que Mamie Jeanne lisait un livre, Milo remarqua une porte dans le mur du salon qu'il n’avait jamais vue auparavant. La porte était petite, presque cachée derrière une plante grimpante. "Qu’est-ce qui peut bien se trouver derrière cette porte?" se demanda Milo avec excitation. Sans attendre, il s’approcha de la porte et la poussa doucement avec sa petite patte. La porte s’ouvrit lentement, révélant un escalier en colimaçon qui descendait vers un endroit sombre. Milo hésita un instant, mais sa curiosité l'emporta, et il décida de descendre. En bas de l'escalier, Milo découvrit une pièce secrète! Elle était remplie de jouets anciens, de peluches, et de boules de laine colorées. Il y avait même un vieux train électrique qui faisait "tchou tchou" en tournant autour de la pièce. Milo était émerveillé. Il sauta, joua avec les peluches et poursuivit les boules de laine qui roulaient un peu partout. Soudain, il entendit un léger bruit derrière lui. Il se retourna et vit une petite souris grise qui le regardait avec de grands yeux curieux. "Bonjour, je m'appelle Lily," dit la souris timidement. "Je vis ici depuis longtemps, mais je n'ai jamais eu de compagnon de jeu." Milo sourit et répondit: "Je suis Milo, et j'adore jouer! Veux-tu jouer avec moi?" Lily accepta avec joie, et ils passèrent le reste de l'après-midi à jouer à cache-cache, à faire rouler les boules de laine, et même à essayer de conduire le petit train ensemble. Quand le soir tomba, Milo savait qu'il était temps de rentrer. "Je reviendrai demain!" dit-il à Lily en montant les escaliers. Lily lui fit un signe de la main avant de disparaître dans son petit trou de souris.

Once upon a time, in a peaceful forest, there was a little tree named Sapling. Sapling was just beginning to grow and wanted to be the best tree in the whole forest. But there was something Sapling didn’t know—how to grow strong and healthy. One bright morning, the wise old Oak Tree shared a secret with Sapling. "You must always grow near good water, and follow the right path," Oak said. "Let me tell you a story." The Story of the Good Tree Oak began: "There are two kinds of trees in this forest. One tree, who grows by the dry, dusty path, never seems to bloom. The wind blows its leaves away, and its branches stay thin. It follows the wrong path, always listening to the wind that makes it sway in all directions." Sapling listened closely. "But," Oak continued, "there is another tree, who grows by the river. The river keeps it watered, and the sun shines on it all day. This tree has deep roots, strong branches, and it grows full of bright, healthy leaves." Sapling asked, "How does the river help it grow?" "The river," said Oak, "is like the Word of God. It gives the tree everything it needs to stay strong and bear fruit, even in difficult times. The tree by the river listens carefully and keeps its roots deep in the good soil." The Lesson Oak looked at Sapling and smiled. "If you follow the right path, listen to good advice, and stay close to the river of wisdom, you too will grow strong. But if you wander and follow the wrong ways, you might not grow as tall or strong as you want." Sapling thought for a moment and decided to listen to Oak. The little tree grew near the river and listened to the wise words of the forest. Over time, it grew strong, healthy, and full of leaves. Moral of the Story: Just like Sapling, if you follow good advice and stay close to what is right, you will grow strong and healthy. Avoid the bad paths and listen to wise words. Stay rooted in goodness, and you will always bear good fruit.
