Once upon a time in a self-governing colony, there lived a group of Patriots who wanted independence from the rule of the Loyalists. The Patriots had a low morale because they felt they were not well represented in their government.

One day, a Patriot named Rebel decided to do something about it. He rallied his friends and together they wrote a petition to demand better representation. They asked a delegate to deliver the petition to the Loyalists but instead of listening, the Loyalists laughed and said they would never give in to the demands of a rebel.

This made Rebel even more determined to fight for independence. He gathered all the Patriots and they retaliated by staging a peaceful protest in front of the Loyalist's palace. The Loyalists were taken aback by the bravery of the Patriots and soon, an ally of the Patriots joined the fight for independence.

In the end, the Loyalists realized that the Patriots were serious about their cause and agreed to give them better representation in the government. The morale of the Patriots soared and they celebrated their victory with a big feast. From that day on, the colony became a self-governing nation and the Patriots lived happily ever after.

3. What was the Loyalists' initial reaction to Rebel's petition?
4. How did the morale of the Patriots change by the end of the story?
5. What can we learn from the story about self-governance and standing up for one's beliefs?
