One sunny day, Lina was helping her father, a kind gardener, plant seeds in their garden. She asked, "Papa, why don’t we plant anything near the dark forest?" Her father smiled. "The forest may seem scary, Lina, but fear is like darkness—it feels big, but it shrinks when you face it." Lina frowned. "But what if it doesn’t? What if something bad happens?" Her father held up a small seed. "Do you know what this is?" "A seed," Lina replied. "Yes," her father said. "It’s tiny, but with care, it grows into a strong tree. Courage is like this seed. It starts small but grows every time you face your fears." That evening, Lina thought about her father’s words. The next morning, she stood at the edge of the forest, holding her lucky stone. Her heart raced as she stepped inside. The tall trees cast long shadows, and strange sounds filled the air. But Lina remembered, "One step at a time." As she walked, she noticed wildflowers and sunlight peeking through the trees. The forest wasn’t as scary as she thought.

One day, there were two animals named Kiki and Cici. They are best friends, to the point that Kiki's mother considers Cici as her own child. One day, Kiki's mother invited Kiki and Cici to plant green beans in the field behind their house.“Please, sow some of these sprouts in the pots that are already in our fields!” Their mother told them to plant the green beans in pots in the field. They planted beans with certainty, and when they were done, they returned to their homes. The next day, they returned to the field to see how the green beans they had planted yesterday were progressing. “Hahaha, your green beans don't have any progress to grow!” Cici laughed when she seeing Kiki’s plants because they don't have roots or leaves. Kiki was saddened and disappointed to hear this, and even more so when he saw that his green bean plants were not growing at all. Kiki replanted his green beans with new green beans, fertilized them, and watered them until the soil was moist enough. After a few days of this activity, Kiki's green beans now grew with long roots, and quite a lot of leaves. His mother was proud when she heard his story when he returned from the field.

One sunny day, as Lolang was grazing near the edge of the village, she noticed a beautiful mango tree that she had never seen before. Its branches were laden with golden, ripe mangoes that glowed in the sunlight. Intrigued, Lola wandered closer to the tree and was surprised to hear a soft, melodious voice. "Hello, dear carabao," the voice said. "I am the spirit of the Magic Mango Tree. These mangoes have special powers, but only those with a pure heart can take them." Lolang's eyes widened in wonder. "Magic mangoes? What do they do?" The tree spirit replied, "Each mango grants a special wish. However, the wishes must be used to bring joy and harmony to others." Lolang thought about the villagers and their hardworking lives. She knew she could use the magic mangoes to help them. With the tree spirit's permission, she gently picked three mangoes and carried them back to the village.

One day the library media center had an unwelcomed visitor. This visitor was not an ordinary human. This visitor was not even human at all. It was from Mars. It was Martian. And it was a fly. Not a little fly that we see buzzing around out doors at picnics trying to land on juicy watermelons. But a huge fly. Almost bigger than the hand of a Pre K student. This fly was from Mars and it loved to read books. So, one day when the door to the library media center was left open by a student, this Martian fly flew right in. He was in fly heaven. He went from book to book and read how to live on Earth. What to eat to not make his belly hurt. And how to avoid humans. He was having the time of his life. Until one day, he made a big mistake. The media specialist and her assistant Miss Bee and Miss Crystal saw him in the nonfiction section. They didn't know that he was an alien. They assumed he was a mutated fly that was so big that he might bite one of their students. No matter how hard they tried they were unable to catch the fly. Soon, they gave up because they had a job to do and that was to make sure all students could come in and check out great books to read as well as help students with their Chromebooks. So Miss Bee decided to trap the fly in another room so no student could be harm by the fearsome creature.
