Once upon a time, in a magical land filled with delicious fruits, there were five friends named Apple, Banana, Pear, Kiwi, and Strawberry.
Apple was a plump and round red fruit, always the first one to be picked from the tree.
Banana was a long and curved yellow fruit, always hanging out with his friends.
Pear was a tall and thin green fruit, always the last one to be picked from the tree.
Kiwi was a small and fuzzy brown fruit, always hiding in the bushes.
Strawberry was a small and sweet red fruit, always hiding under the leaves.

One day, they decided to have a picnic together in the forest. They all set off to find the perfect spot.
Apple found a sunny clearing, Banana found a spot with a nice breeze, Pear found a spot with a beautiful view, and Kiwi found a spot with plenty of shade.
But Strawberry was nowhere to be found. They searched and searched, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Just when they were about to give up, they heard a faint cry for help. They followed the sound and found Strawberry stuck in a thorn bush.
They all worked together to free her, and finally, she was out. Strawberry was so grateful and thanked her friends for their help.

They all sat down to eat their picnic, and it was the best one they ever had. They laughed and played and enjoyed each other's company.
From that day on, they all made sure to stick together and look out for each other, and they lived happily ever after.

The end.

Reflections

1. Why do you think the friends were able to find Strawberry when she was stuck in the thorn bush?
2. How do you think the friends' different characteristics (e.g. Apple being plump, Pear being tall and thin) helped them during their picnic?
3. Why do you think the friends had a better picnic after they helped Strawberry?
