Once upon a time, there was a spectacled bear named Benny who lived in the forest. Benny loved to compare himself with other animals and always wanted to be the best. One day, he noticed that all the other animals had muzzles, but he didn't. He felt left out and exclusive.
So, Benny went to the wise old owl for advice. The owl told him that being unique is what makes each animal special and it's not about having a muzzle or comparing himself to others. Benny understood and was happy to be himself, just the way he was. From then on, he lived happily ever after, focusing on being the best version of himself, not comparing to others. The end.

Reflections

1. What did Benny learn from the wise old owl about being unique?
2. Why did Benny feel left out at first?
3. How does Benny feel about himself at the end of the story?
4. Can you think of a time when you felt left out or exclusive? How did you handle it?
