Once upon a time in a far-off tundra, there lived a Caribou named Carl. He loved to wander and explore the vast, white landscape.
One day, while on his travels, he came across a small ptarmigan who was shivering in the snow. "What's wrong?" asked Carl.
The ptarmigan replied, "I'm so cold and my home is very meager, I have nothing to furnish it with."
Carl, being a kind-hearted Caribou, offered to help. They wandered the tundra together, searching for anything they could use to furnish the ptarmigan's home.
Eventually, they stumbled upon an old sled that had been abandoned by humans. They used it to gather branches and twigs to make a warm, cozy nest for the ptarmigan.
The ptarmigan was so grateful and happy in his new home, he even invited Carl to stay for dinner. They feasted on the meager food they had gathered and laughed until the stars came out.
From that day on, Carl and the ptarmigan were the best of friends and went on many more adventures together. The end.

3. Why was the Ptarmigan grateful to the Caribou?
4. What kind of adventures did they go on together?
5. What can we learn from the story about friendship and helping others?
