Traditions of Christmas told through an adventure experienced by a 10-year-old girl from London.

Once upon a time, in a bright and bustling village called Breezy Hollow, there lived a curious little fox named Benji. Benji loved to explore, but sometimes his adventures didn’t go as planned. When things got tricky, Benji would feel his chest tighten, his heart race, and his thoughts whirl like a tornado. It made him want to run and hide. One sunny day, Benji’s karate teacher, Master Ling, noticed that Benji seemed restless and worried during practice. Master Ling was wise and kind, and he gently asked, “Benji, is something troubling you?” Benji nodded. “Sometimes I feel like there’s a tornado inside me, and I don’t know how to make it stop.” Master Ling smiled. “I understand. Let me teach you something that can help. It’s called the Calm Breath. This technique has been used for many years to bring peace to the mind and body. Would you like to learn it?” Benji’s ears perked up. “Yes, please!” Master Ling knelt down and explained, “When you feel a storm inside, remember these steps: Top up your breath before you sigh. Feel the calm as it passes by. “Here’s how it works,” Master Ling continued. “First, take a big breath in through your nose, and then take another little sip of air to top it up. Finally, let it all out with a long sigh through your mouth. Try it with me.” Benji closed his eyes and followed the steps: He took a big breath in through his nose. He added a tiny extra sip of air at the top. Then he let out a long, slow sigh through his mouth. “Ahh,” Benji said, feeling his chest relax. The whirling tornado inside him slowed down. “It works!” Master Ling nodded. “It does. This is a gift you can use anytime you feel stressed or scared. Practice it often, and you’ll always have a way to find calm.” From that day on, Benji shared the secret of the Calm Breath with everyone in Breezy Hollow. Whenever his friends felt worried, he’d remind them, “Top up your breath before you sigh!” Soon, the whole village used the Calm Breath to stay calm and happy.
