Come gather 'round, kids, and hear my tale
Of amazing things that never fail
Of trickling streams and scurrying mice
And salvation from our biggest vice

Sometimes in life we may provoke
Someone who might feel a little broke
We must remember to be kind
And leave any violator far behind

But if we slip, and things go wrong
And we find ourselves not feeling strong
Remember that salvation is always near
And help is always waiting here

Just like the trickle of a little stream
Or the scurry of a tiny team
We too can find the strength we need
To face any challenge or to succeed

So let us all be kind and true
And know that amazing things we can do
With patience, love, and a helping hand
We can change the world, you and me, grand!

2. Can you describe a time when you had to be patient and kind towards someone who provoked you?
3. What does the story teach us about the importance of seeking help in difficult times?
4. How did the scurrying mice in the story demonstrate the strength to overcome challenges?
5. What are some ways that we can be kind and helpful towards others, like the characters in the story?
