Sandy’s Snowy Secret

The forest is blanketed in thick snow. Animals scurry around, caught off-guard by the sudden change. Sandy watches from her tree hollow, clutching her stash of nuts. “This storm came too soon! I barely have enough for myself. What if it lasts for weeks?”, said Sandy. She peers out and sees her friends struggling.

Setting: The forest floor, where Max the raccoon is sniffing around for food. Description: Max is shivering, pawing at the snow but finding nothing. Sandy hides behind a branch, holding a nut. Dialogue: Hazel: “Oh dear, not even a single seed. How will I make it through the night?” Sandy (to herself): “Poor Max. But if I give him a nut, what will I eat tomorrow?” Sandy hesitates and decides to keep her nut, feeling guilty but unsure how to help.

As the days went by, Sandy noticed Max and Luna working together to find food. They helped Ollie by clearing branches so he could see better at night. Luna believed in sharing and teamwork, which warmed Sandy's heart. She realized that maybe she could help too. Sandy thought of a plan that could bring everyone together.

Sandy gathered her courage and called a meeting with her friends. She shared her idea of pooling their resources and working as a team. Max, Luna, and Ollie were thrilled and agreed to contribute what they could find. Together, they built a cozy food-sharing spot in the forest. Sandy discovered that sharing made the winter warmer and happier for everyone.
