Once upon a time, there was a group of animals who lived in the forest. They all decided to have a fair to see who was the best at doing different things.

The first event was convincing others to do something. The smart fox got up and tried to convince the other animals to go for a walk with him. He was so convincing that all the animals agreed to join him.

The next event was assuming. The slow turtle assumed that he would be the last one to finish the race, but when he started running, he was so fast that he won the race!

The third event was denying. The strong bear denied that he couldn't carry a heavy log, but when he tried, he couldn't lift it.

The fourth event was improving. The clever monkey suggested that they should cooperate to improve the fair. All the animals agreed and worked together to make it even better.

The final event was appropriate behavior. The kind rabbit showed everyone how to behave appropriately by sharing his food and being polite to everyone.

In the end, all the animals learned that by working together and being appropriate, they could have a lot of fun and enjoy the fair. The end.

Reflections

1. Who won the first event of the fair?
2. How did the turtle win the race even though he assumed he would be last?
3. Why was the monkey clever?
4. How did the rabbit show appropriate behavior?
5. What did the animals learn at the end of the fair?
