Once upon a time, there was a small village where all the buildings were mixed up. The school was located in the prison, the rectory was in the shed, the shrine was in the silo, the refinery was in the restaurant, and the restaurant was in the school.

One day, the villagers woke up to a big surprise. The school bell rang, but instead of calling the children to class, it called all the prisoners to breakfast. The prisoners were shocked when they walked into the cafeteria and saw that it was a fancy restaurant. The menu had gourmet food and the prisoners were treated like VIPs.

At the same time, the children were walking into the prison, thinking it was their school. They were surprised to see cells and bars instead of classrooms and desks. The prison guard, who was actually the schoolteacher, tried his best to teach the children math and English behind bars.

In the shed, the villagers were gathering for Sunday mass, but instead of finding a church, they found a garden shed. The priest, who was also the gardener, tried to give a sermon, but he was interrupted by the sound of lawnmowers and hedge trimmers.

In the silo, the villagers went to pray at the shrine, but instead found a big storage silo filled with wheat and corn. The priest tried his best to give a blessing, but he was constantly sneezing from all the dust.

At the refinery, the workers were trying to produce gasoline, but instead they found a fancy kitchen. The chef was trying to cook a gourmet meal, but he was having trouble with all the boiling oil and smoke.

The villagers were so confused by the mix-up of buildings that they decided to hold a meeting. After much discussion, they realized that a mischievous fairy had cast a spell on the village, causing all the buildings to switch places. The villagers were able to reverse the spell and put everything back in its proper place.

From that day on, the school was back in the school, the prison was back in the prison, and everyone was much happier. The villagers learned that it's important to appreciate the things that are familiar and comforting, and to always be grateful for what they have.

Reflections

1. What do you think would have happened if the spell wasn't reversed?
2. How do you think the prisoners felt about having breakfast in a fancy restaurant?
3. What do you think was the most challenging thing for the priest in the shed and the silo?
4. How do you think the chef felt about cooking in a refinery instead of a kitchen?
5. Why do you think it was important for the village to reverse the spell and put everything back in its proper place?
