Once upon a time, there was a kind and hardworking man named John. He lived in a small village with his wife, who was also a hardworking woman named Mary. They had three children, two boys and a girl, who were always curious and eager to learn about the world around them.

One day, John and Mary decided to take their children on a journey to the nearby city to see the sights and meet new people. On their way, they came across a field where a group of oxen were grazing. The children were fascinated by the strong and majestic animals, and they asked their parents to tell them more about them.

John explained that oxen are animals that are often used to help farmers plow their fields and pull heavy loads. They have strong teeth that can bite through tough plants and grass, and they are very patient and hardworking animals.

The children were fascinated by the oxen and they asked if they could help out with the farming. John smiled and said that they could, but first they had to learn about taking care of their own teeth. He told them that it was important to brush their teeth every day and to eat healthy foods, so that their teeth would be strong and healthy just like the oxen's.

The children were excited to learn about taking care of their teeth and they brushed and flossed every day from that day on. They also helped out with the farming and learned a lot about hard work and determination from the oxen.

Years went by and the children grew up to be strong and healthy men and women, just like their parents. They passed on the lessons they learned from the oxen to their own children, and the village continued to thrive thanks to the hard work and determination of all the men, women, and children.

The end.

Reflections

2. Why was it important for the children to take care of their teeth?
3. How did the lessons the children learned from the oxen help them in the future?
