1st and 2nd Primary Book

**The Blue Eyes** Lena liked the café for its quiet predictability—familiar faces, muted conversations, and the hum of rain on the windows. It was her refuge, a place where no one expected anything of her. That’s when she noticed him. He sat by the window, ordinary in every way except for his eyes—blue, startlingly vivid, like they saw through her. When he glanced her way, Lena quickly looked down, her heart unexpectedly quickening. Moments later, she heard his voice. “Is this seat taken?” Startled, she stammered, “No, go ahead.” He sat across from her, casual but assured. “I’m Michael,” he said, his gaze steady. “Lena.” Their conversation began awkwardly but quickly fell into an easy rhythm. They talked about books, the rain, nothing extraordinary—yet everything about it felt significant. His presence was magnetic, his words strangely familiar, as though they were picking up a thread they’d left unfinished. --- Michael started appearing more often, each visit deepening their bond. He knew little details about her—how she always ordered her coffee black, how she twisted her ring when nervous. “You notice a lot,” Lena said one day, half-joking. He smiled, almost apologetic. “I don’t mean to. It’s just... you feel familiar. Like I’ve known you before.” Lena’s chest tightened. She felt it too—that inexplicable pull, as if their lives had crossed in ways neither could explain. But she didn’t ask what he meant. Some feelings were too fragile to question. --- Then one day, he disappeared. Lena waited, watching the door every afternoon, her heart sinking when he didn’t come. She texted him, but there was no reply. Days turned into weeks. She went to the café out of habit, but the empty chair across from her was impossible to ignore. He was gone. Sitting by the window one rainy evening, she let the memory settle in her chest like a bittersweet ache.

Adventure at the pumpkin farm

Ahri, a curious young pup, lived with her family—Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and little Honey—in a cozy forest. Often asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, Ahri was unsure and decided to explore different paths. She first tried being an astronaut, dreaming of adventures in space. However, the solitude wasn’t for her; she missed her friends Carly, a German Shorthair Pointer, and Nilah, a German Shepherd. Next, Ahri attempted to be a musician but soon realized she didn’t enjoy singing. She then considered firefighting but was too wary of fire. Throughout her explorations, her family and friends supported her. Carly suggested, “Why not join the Pup Academy? Training with other pups might help you find your way.” Eager to try, Ahri joined the academy, where she met Nilah, who was excited about the training. Together, they navigated the obstacle course. When she got tangled in a wire crawl, Ahri began to cry, feeling as if she had failed. Sargent Carly comforted her, saying, “You didn’t fail; you tried, and that’s important. You can try again.” Encouraged by Carly’s words, Ahri trained diligently. On her next attempt, she successfully completed the course, her friends cheering her on. Ahri realized that finding her purpose was about the journey and learning alongside loved ones, knowing she was on the right path to understanding who she was meant to be.
