Read together

Once upon a time, there was a sap-sucking creature named Sappy. Sappy lived in a forest of sturdy trees and loved to feed on sap from the trees. Sappy was a vegetarian and only ate sap, leaves and fruits.
One winter, the weather was very cold and frostbitten. Sappy's feet got frostbitten and it couldn't climb up the trees to feed. Sappy was worried and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, Sappy had an idea and went to the strongest and sturdiest tree in the forest. Sappy asked the tree for help and the tree agreed to shelter Sappy from the cold.
From that day onwards, Sappy lived happily in the sturdy tree and never got frostbitten again. Sappy continued to be a happy and healthy vegetarian, feeding on sap, leaves, and fruits. The end.
