On Bounds Oak Way, where the tall oaks swayed, Lived two best friends who ran and played. Emily and Charlotte, with laughter so bright, Had sleepovers full of giggles each night. Side by side, through seasons they grew, Splashing in puddles, the sky painted blue. They raced on their rollerblades, zooming so fast, Hoping the moments would always last. But time went on, as time often does, And change swept in like a soft summer buzz. Emily moved north to a brand-new town, Charlotte left for Tokyo, where lights never dim down. Miles apart, yet still heart to heart, No distance could keep their friendship apart. Through letters and calls, through pictures they’d send, They knew in their hearts, they’d always be friends. For love doesn’t live in a house or a street, It’s carried inside, where best friends do meet. So no matter how far, no matter the day, They’ll always belong to Bounds Oak Way. Best friends are both blonde girls and Bounds Oak Way is set in Kent in the UK

"That sounds like anxiety. I used to feel that way too! But I learned some tricks to feel better. Do you want to try?" Page 5: Finn nodded, and Bella taught him to take deep breaths—inhale for four seconds, hold for four seconds, and exhale for four seconds. "Breathing helps calm your body," she said. Page 6: Next, Bella said, "Think of a happy place. Imagine your favorite spot and how safe you feel there." Finn closed his eyes and thought about his cozy den, wrapped in soft blankets. Page 7: "Now," Bella said, "let's take one little step up the hill. Just one. Then we can stop and see how you feel." Finn took a tiny step. "I did it!" he said, feeling proud. Page 8: With Bella's support, Finn climbed higher and higher. When they reached the top, Finn gasped. The sunset was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen! Page 9: "I was scared, but I did it!"

He could take deep breaths, think of a happy place, and take small steps to feel better. Page 11: As they watched the sunset, Finn smiled. "Next time I feel scared, I’ll remember what you taught me." Bella patted his back. "And I’ll be here to help!" The End.

Aqma walks to the park near his house with excitement. He wants to practice his new football shooting technique so he can become a great footballer like Cristiano Ronaldo. “Alright! Today I’ll get better and closer to my dream of being a footballer!” Aqma said to himself, holding his ball tightly. When Aqma arrives at the park, he looks up at the clear sky and smiles. As he lowers his hand, he notices a girl sitting alone in the gazebo. “Who’s that girl? I’ve never seen her here before,” Aqma wonders. As Aqma practices, he feels uncomfortable. He isn’t used to being watched, especially by a girl. “Come on, Aqma! You’re a man, don’t be shy,” he mutters to himself. He glances at the girl again, and to his surprise, she is watching him too. Aqma becomes even more distracted. Aqma gathers his courage and walks toward the girl. Rina, feeling shy and unsure, looks at him as he approaches. “Hi, my name is Aqma. What’s your name?” Aqma asks with a smile. The girl stays quiet for a moment, then softly replies, “Umm... Rina. My name is Rina.” “Hello, Rina! If you don’t mind, would you like to play football with me? Just for fun?” Aqma asks cheerfully. Rina shakes her head. “I’m sorry, Aqma. I can’t play football.” “Don’t worry! I’ll teach you!” Aqma insists. But Rina lowers her face and says quietly, “It’s not that... I can’t walk properly.” Aqma is confused a bit and then notices the walking stick behind her, “Oh," Aqma feels sorry and says softly, “I’m so sorry, Rina. I didn’t know...” Rina smiles a little. “It’s okay, really.” Suddenly, Aqma has an idea. “Hey, Rina! What if you become my coach?” “Me? How?” Rina asks, surprised. “You can help rate my skills and tell me how good my shots are! just like a real coach!” Aqma says excitedly. Rina smiles brighter. “Okay, my dads often tell me about Cristiano, so I understand a bit about football”. “Really? You know Cristiano too? Aqma surprised. From that day on, Aqma and Rina meet at the park often.

Long ago, the Tacana people lived peacefully in the Amazon rainforest, but food was becoming scarce. They relied heavily on hunting, and one of the most coveted animals was jochi pintao, a spotted peccary known for its speed and elusiveness. One day, the Tacana hunters set out to catch jochi pintao. They followed its tracks deep into the forest, but the animal was too clever and always managed to escape. The hunters grew tired and hungry, so they decided to rest under a tree. As they lay there, they heard birds singing above them. The birds, noticing the hunters' plight, decided to help. They flew down and spoke to the hunters, saying that they knew the secret of jochi pintao. The birds revealed that the peccary had been protecting something valuable—a hidden food source that could sustain the Tacana people for generations. Guided by the birds, the hunters followed jochi pintao once more, this time without trying to catch it. The peccary led them to a clearing where they discovered an unusual plant growing in the ground. This plant was yuca. The hunters dug up the roots, and the birds taught them how to prepare and cook the yuca, turning it into a nourishing meal. The Tacana believed that the yuca was a gift from the forest spirits, given to them by jochi pintao and the birds to ensure their survival. From then on, yuca became a staple food for the Tacana people, and they honored the animals and the forest that provided for them. This story underscores the Tacana's deep respect for nature and their belief in the interconnectedness of all living things. It also highlights the importance of yuca as a life-sustaining resource, symbolizing cooperation between humans and the natural world.
