Once there was a little cat named Whiskers who lived under a tree. One day, he decided to explore the world around him. He hopped over a rock and started walking forward, but suddenly he tripped and fell backward. Undeterred, Whiskers got back up and decided to walk across a field. But when he got to the other side, he realized he had walked all the way around in a circle and was back where he started! Whiskers laughed at his silly mistake and decided to try again, this time walking forward with his eyes open. The end.

Reflections

1. What was Whiskers trying to do when he started exploring?
2. What happened to Whiskers when he walked across the field?
3. How did Whiskers feel when he realized he had walked in a circle?
4. What did Whiskers do differently the second time he tried to explore?
5. Why do you think Whiskers laughed at his mistake?
