In the garden, bugs crawl and fly
Some are edible, while others make us shy
An insect may have some nutrients inside
But some are poisonous, so we must abide

A chef knows how to prepare a meal
With the right amount of food to make us feel
Good and full of energy, with every calorie
From a balanced diet, we get our vitality

We eat fruits and veggies, full of vitamins and more
And some insects are edible, we can explore
Crickets, ants, and grasshoppers are a treat
For those who dare to try something neat

So let's learn from the chef, and make a healthy choice
Eat what's good for us, and with our voice
We can tell our friends about a balanced diet
And how to find the right amount and variety, we'll try it!

Reflections

1. What challenges did the brave little mouse face on his journey to save his family?
2. How did the mouse use his intelligence and quick thinking to outsmart the cat?
3. Why do you think the mouse was willing to risk his own safety to save his family?
4. What lessons can we learn from the brave little mouse about courage and determination?
5. How would the story have been different if the mouse had given up or not been brave enough to face the cat?
