Once upon a time, in a magical forest, there lived a group of friends: a fish, a frog, a mouse, a goat, and a bee. They all lived in harmony and loved to play together.

One day, while they were out exploring the forest, they came across a beautiful pond. The fish was so excited to see the pond and immediately jumped in to swim around. The frog and the mouse decided to join in, and soon they were all having a great time splashing in the water.

The goat, who couldn't swim, was a little jealous of his friends having all the fun, but the bee came up with a clever idea. She flew down to the edge of the pond and made a little raft out of leaves and sticks for the goat to ride on. The goat was so happy and grateful, and he thanked the bee for her kindness.

From that day on, the friends made sure to include the goat in all of their adventures and they had many more fun days in the forest together. They learned an important lesson that day that it is important to include everyone, and to be kind and helpful to one another.

The end.

Reflections

1. Why was the goat feeling jealous when his friends were swimming in the pond?
2. How did the bee help the goat feel included in the friends' adventure?
3. What lesson did the friends learn about kindness and inclusion in the story?
