Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived a group of animals who were always fighting with each other. The bears had strong claws, the lions had sharp jaws, and the foxes were always looking for a flaw in their enemies' defenses.

One day, a wise old owl decided that something needed to be done about all the fighting. He flew to the top of a tall tree and called out to all the animals to come and hear his plan.

When they had all gathered around, the owl said, "I have a plan to put an end to all this fighting. We will draw up a law that states that all animals must treat each other with kindness and respect."

The animals thought this was a great idea, and they set to work drawing up the law. The bears used their claws to carve it into a big rock, the lions used their jaws to chew up straw to make ink, and the foxes used their paws to write the law down.

When the law was finished, the animals all took turns signing it with their paws. From that day on, there was no more fighting in the forest. The animals lived in peace and harmony, and they all agreed that the wise old owl's plan had been a great success.

The moral of the story is that it is better to work together and find a solution that benefits everyone, rather than fighting and causing harm.

Reflections

1. What made the wise old owl decide to call a meeting with the other animals?
2. How did the different animals contribute to creating the law that ended the fighting?
3. Why do you think the animals decided to follow the law and stop fighting after they signed it?
