Once upon a time, in a field so green,
Lived a group of geese, quite the sight to be seen.
With feathers so white, and honks so loud,
They waddled around, proud and round.

One day, a mouse scurried by,
Quick on his feet, he caught their eye.
The geese chased him, to and fro,
Till the little mouse, had nowhere to go.

But just in time, a man came by,
Scaring the geese, as he walked nigh.
He picked up the mouse, so small and grey,
And gently put him on his way.

The man then met a woman so fair,
Who had a child with curly hair.
The child smiled, and clapped with glee,
As the man told of the mouse and geese.

Then came some women, and some men too,
With children and babies, quite a crew.
They listened to the man, with wonder in their eyes,
As he spoke of mice, geese, and the sunny skies.

So, if you ever come across a mouse or a goose,
Remember this tale, and the kind-hearted man's use.
For animals and people, we should always be kind,
And cherish the moments, that we can find.

Reflections

1. How do you think the mouse felt when the geese chased after him?
2. Why do you think the man was kind to the mouse?
3. How can we be kind to animals in our everyday lives?
4. What did the man teach the woman and the children in the story?
5. Have you ever seen animals like geese or mice in real life? How did you feel about them?
