Key Concepts
A Happy Child (Poem)
This poem is about a child who is very happy. The child enjoys nature and the world around. The poem tells us that a happy child loves everything — the sun, the sky, the trees, and the birds. Happiness comes from being thankful for what we have and enjoying simple things in life.
Three Little Pigs (Story)
Three little pigs leave home and each builds a house. The first pig builds a house of straw. It is easy but not strong. The second pig builds a house of sticks. It is a little stronger but still weak. The third pig builds a house of bricks. It takes a long time but it is very strong. A big bad wolf comes and blows down the straw house and the stick house. But he cannot blow down the brick house. The first two pigs run to the third pig's house and are safe.
Moral of the Story
Hard work always pays off. The third pig worked the hardest and built the strongest house. We should not be lazy. We should always do our best work, even if it takes more time and effort.
