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.

In the middle of his fun walk Aqma met an old lady who was having a struggle calling her cat who was up in a tree. “Koko, come down don’t stay up there, it is time for you to eat, c’mon Koko!” The old lady called out her cat while holding her waist. “Let me help you, Grandma!” Aqma offered, quickly climbing the tree. “Here’s your cat!” he said, handing Koko back to her. “Thank you so much gentleman! Here are some buns for you to eat.” Aqma took the buns with a smile and said thank you then continued on his way. In the middle of continuing his walk, Aqma met a man who was struggling to carry a lot of luggage. “Hi, sir! Let me help you carry your stuff.” Aqma immediately helped carry the man's luggage. The man smiled as Aqma helped him carry his belongings home. With Aqma’s help, the man reached home. “Thank you, kid. Come rest and have a glass of water,” the man said. Aqma rested for a while and enjoyed the man’s hospitality. Arriving home to his surprise, Aqma’s house was swarming with people trying to put out the fire. Aqma was confused and shocked at the same time, he just remembered that when he was walking earlier he forgot to turn off the stove and now he had no place to stay. He just stood there looking at his house that was slowly disappearing. Aqma sat limply lamenting his fate, the only thing he could save was his body. From a distance, the people looked at his loneliness until without Aqma realizing it, the old lady and the man he helped earlier approached him “You can stay at my house, child,” the old lady said.“My home is always open if you’re hungry,” the man added. From that day on, Aqma remained grateful for the kindness of others and vowed to keep helping people every day.

في إحدى الغابات الجميلة، كان هناك أرنب صغير يُدعى أرنوب. أرنوب كان أرنبًا مميزًا بمهاراته؛ فهو يقفز عاليًا جدًا، يتشقلب في الهواء بخفة، ويجري بسرعة فائقة حتى أنه كان يفوز دائمًا في السباقات مع أصدقائه. ذات يوم، اقترح أرنوب على أصدقائه الأرانب أن يتسابقوا في القفز العالي، قائلًا لهم بثقة: "سترون أنني الأفضل وسأفوز بسهولة!" وفعلاً، فاز أرنوب في السباق. لكنه بدأ يضحك على أصدقائه ويتفاخر بمهاراته، مما جعلهم يشعرون بالانزعاج. ومع مرور الوقت، بدأ الأصدقاء يبتعدون عنه وقالوا عنه إنه مغرور. في البداية، لم يهتم أرنوب لذلك وقال لنفسه: "لا يهم، فأنا الأفضل على أي حال!" لكنه مع الوقت، شعر بالوحدة. لم يعد لديه أصدقاء يشاركونه اللعب، وبدأ يتساءل: "ما فائدة القفز عاليًا إن كنت وحيدًا ولا أحد يشاركني فرحتي؟" عاد أرنوب إلى المنزل حزينًا. لاحظه والده وسأله: "ما بالك يا أرنوب؟ أراك مكتئبًا اليوم." فأجاب أرنوب: "أصدقائي لا يريدون اللعب معي. الجميع يبتعد عني." ابتسم والده وقال له: "يا بني، من الجميل أن تكون فخورًا بمهاراتك، ولكن لا يجب أن تجعل ذذلك سببًا للغرور. علينا أن نُقدِّر مهارات الآخرين ونحترمها. كل أرنب لديه شيء يُميِّزه، فلا أحد أفضل من الآخر. علينا أن نتعاون ونتشارك بدلًا من التباهي." فهم أرنوب كلام والده، وقال: "ماذا أفعل الآن؟ كيف أستعيد أصدقائي؟" أجابه والده: "ابدأ بالاقتراب من أصدقائك. عندما ترى أحدهم يلعب وحده، شاركه اللعب، وكن صديقًا لطيفًا وداعمًا." أخذ أرنوب بنصيحة والده. بدأ يتعامل مع أصدقائه بلطف، ولم يعد يتباهى بمهاراته. صار يُشجِّعهم بدلًا من التفاخر عليهم. ومع الوقت، عادت الصداقة بينه وبين الأرانب، وأصبح لديهم الكثير من اللحظات الججميلة معًا. وتعلّم أرنوب درسًا مهمًا: أن الصداقة والمحبة أهم من الفوز، وأن التعاون والتواضع يجعل الجميع سعداء
