Once upon a time, in a magical forest, there lived a group of animals. They all loved to draw and play together. One day, they decided to gather all the fruit and nuts from the trees and pluck them. The herd of animals worked together to stockpile their supplies. They wanted to unite and hoard their food to make sure they had enough to eat during the winter. They worked hard to gather as much as they could, and soon they had a massive pile of food. They were so happy with what they had accomplished, and they lived happily ever after.

Reflections

1. Why did the animals decide to gather food?
2. How did the animals feel about their hoard of food?
3. What do you think would have happened if they didn't hoard the food?
4. How is this story like other stories you know about working together?
