The Little Pupil's Big Idea: A Team Effort to Save the Village

Once upon a time, in a small village, all the villagers had a big problem. They couldn't decide who should be the mayor of their village. So they came up with an idea to have a competition, whoever wins it will become the mayor.
The competition was to save the village from a fire. The doctor, housewife, farmer, fireman, pilot, policeman, postman and teacher all participated, but one little pupil also joined in.
Everyone worked hard to put out the fire, but the little pupil had a unique idea. He suggested that they could all work together, using each other's skills and knowledge.
So the doctor treated the injured, the housewife cooked food for the team, the farmer used his tractors to create a fire break, the fireman put out the flames, the pilot flew over the fire to see where it was spreading, the policeman directed traffic to keep people safe, the postman delivered messages to coordinate their efforts, and the teacher taught everyone how to work together effectively.
Thanks to the little pupil's idea, they all successfully put out the fire and the pupil became the mayor of the village.
From then on, they all lived happily ever after, working together to solve any problem that came their way.
The end.
