Read together
Once upon a time, there was a wise old man who lived in a small village. The villagers all loved him because he was kind and always helped them with their problems. One day, a little boy asked the old man whose idea it was to build the beautiful houses that surrounded the village. The old man smiled and said: "It was my idea." The little boy was amazed and asked: "Really? How did you do it?" The old man said: "I used my imagination and my hands. I built each house myself, with the help of the villagers who believed in me." The little boy was so inspired by the old man's story that he decided to become a builder too. And that is how the little boy grew up to be a great builder, just like the wise old man.
