Once upon a time, there was a grape who wanted to be cool like all the other fruits. So, he put on a hat and tried to act hot. He strutted around saying, "Look at me! I'm hot!"

But then he met a fish who told him, "Grapes aren't hot, they're sweet." The grape was embarrassed and took off his hat.

Just then, a gorilla walked by with a flower in her hand. She said, "Hey grape, why don't you come pick grapes with me?" The grape was so happy to finally fit in that he went with the gorilla to pick grapes.

And they all lived happily ever after, except for the grape who never wore a hat again. The end.

Reflections

1. Why did the grape want to wear a hat?
2. How did the fish help the grape feel better about himself?
3. Why was the grape happy to go pick grapes with the gorilla?
4. What did the grape learn at the end of the story?
5. Would you have acted differently than the grape if you were in his place?
