Once upon a time in a magical forest, there lived all sorts of creatures big and small. One day, the animals noticed that their food supplies were running low. They searched high and low but couldn't find anything to eat. Just then, a wise old owl suggested they check the reserve, a secret place where food was stored for times like these.

The animals set off on a journey to the reserve and along the way, they stumbled upon a strange and wondrous sight. They saw a group of fungi, who were singing and dancing in a circle. The fungi were so jolly and carefree, it seemed as if they existed just to bring joy to the forest.

The animals approached the fungi and asked if they could spare some food. The fungi happily agreed and offered the animals some scat, which was actually a special type of mushroom. The animals were hesitant at first, but when they took a bite, they were pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was!

From that day forward, the animals visited the fungi every time they needed food and the fungi were always happy to share their scat with their new friends. And so, the forest was filled with laughter and joy, and all the creatures lived happily ever after.

Reflections

1. What is the reserve in the story, and what is stored there?
2. What did the animals find when they stumbled upon the fungi?
3. Why were the animals hesitant to try the scat offered by the fungi?
4. How did the story end for the animals and the fungi?
