One summer, the

Country Mouse invited

his friend, the City

Mouse, to have a

dier at hoe. So the Coutry Mouse prepared cor ad caote for di-er. While eaig, the City Mouse said, You hardly hae aythig to eat here. Coe to the city ad I ill sho you such rich feast i y place.

The Country Mouse

was so curious about

the city life. So de-

cided to go with his

friend. When they

arrived, the Country

Mouse looked around

the house was so

surprised!

There were all

kinds of food on

the table. There

were ham, cheese,

jellies, cakes and

fruits. The Country

Mouse started nib-

bling the cheese.

So delicious! I have never tasted

anything like this, he said.

Suddenly, before

the Country Mouse

barely took another

bite, he heard some

scratching sound,

Meow! Meow! the cat said approach-

ing the dining table.

Run , yelled the City Mouse. They

ran to the corner

as fast as they

could. What is that? asked the Country Mouse

shaking his body.

A cat once he gets you, hell eat you up, said the Coun-try Mouse. This is

terrible. I think I

will go home. Id rather have corn

and camote in

peace than sugar

and cheese in dan-

ger, said the Country Mouse

to his friend. So

he went back to

his home with a

happy heart.

Toto Turtle

Takes Time

to Tuck and

Think

Toto Turtle is a

terrific turtle. He

likes to play with his

friends Freddie Frog,

Coco Crocodile and

Lucky Duck. Toto is

kind and honest. But

sometimes things

happen that can make

really mad.

When Toto gets

mad, he used to hit,

kick, or yell at his

friends. Then his

friend get upset.

Sometimes they get

mad too. They hit,

kick or yell at Toto.

Mama Turtle is

sad that Toto gets

mad easily. Toto,

she says, Youre a good turtle except

when youre mad. Ill teach you a way not

to get mad easily.

Its called Think like a Turtle, Think

Like a Turtle? ask Toto. Yes. Mama Turtle answers. Just

follow these four

steps:

1. Know your feelings.

(Are you starting to

feel angry?)

2. Think and tell

yourself :Stop

3. Tuck yourself inside

your shell and take

three deep breaths. If

you still feel bad, take

more deep breaths.

4. Come out when

calm and think of a

solution.

The next day, Toto

is playing with his

friends when he is

hit by a ball. Toto

starts to feel mad.

He yells , Ouch! Who threw that

ball? Was it you, Co-

co?

Coco says, I am sor-

ry, Toto I did not

mean to hit you!

Toto starts to walk

to Coco to hit him

but he remembers

what Mama Turtle

said. Think like a Turtle. Toto stops and thinks, Why do I feel mad? Co-

co did not hit me

because he wanted

to. I got in the way

of the ball. Toto

tucks his head inside

his shell and takes

three deep breaths.

Then two more. Then

he looks at Coco. Be

careful with the ball

okay?
