The Country Mouse

was so curious about
the city life. So decided 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 nibbling 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 approaching 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

terrible. I think I
will go home. Id
rather have corn
and camote in
peace than sugar
and cheese in danger, 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, Coco?

Coco says, I am sorry, 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? Coco 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?
