Once upon a time, there was a group of animals who lived in a small village. One day, a horse named Max decided to ignore the rules of the village and eat all the food in the corral meant for everyone to share. The other animals were upset with Max and decided to hold a meeting to decide his punishment. Despite Max's pleas of innocence, the animals agreed to commit him to cleaning the entire corral as his punishment. Max learned his lesson and promised to always follow the rules in the future. From that day on, he was known as a responsible and fair member of the village. The end.

Reflections

1. Why did the other animals punish Max?
2. What was Max's punishment?
3. How did Max feel about his punishment?
4. Did Max learn from his mistake?
5. Why is it important to follow rules in a community?
