Once upon a time in a peaceful pond, there lived many creatures big and small. A fish swam freely, a duck floated on the water, a turtle sunned itself on a log, a snail crawled along the shore, and a beaver built its dam. One day, the beaver's dam caused the water level to rise and flood the snail's home. The snail was upset and didn't know what to do. The kind turtle offered to help and together they came up with a plan to dig a canal to redirect the water. The fish, duck, and beaver joined in too. They worked hard and finally, the water level went back to normal. The snail was grateful and thanked everyone for their help. From that day on, they all lived happily ever after, helping each other whenever they needed. The end.

Reflections

1. What was the problem in the story?
2. Who helped the snail solve the problem?
3. How did they work together to fix the problem?
4. How did the snail feel at the end of the story?
5. Why is it important to help others?
