The Fire Stealer
Once upon a time, there was no fire on the Earth, and animals everywhere were
freezing. They could see the fire in the sun but could not get even a tiny coal
from fierce Firekeeper, the sun’s guardian. One day the animals were so cold they
decided to take some fire.
Brave Crow said, “I will fly to the sun and take a piece of coal. Firekeeper
will not miss such a tiny piece.”
But Firekeeper noticed him and was so furious that he burned the feathers off of
Crow’s head as punishment.
Then Wily Possum said, “Maybe I can take some fire and hide it in my tail.
Firekeeper will not notice a small coal hidden in my bushy tail.”
But Possum could not fool Firekeeper, and angry Firekeeper burned the fur off
Possum’s tail as punishment.
Finally, tiny Water Spider said, “I will get so wet that the sun cannot burn me,
and I will spin thread to make a little bowl on my back where I can carry the small
piece of fire that I take.”

Water Spider was so small she could easily slip by Firekeeper. When the animals
saw her carrying back the fire, they all cheered.
Bear said, “You are the smallest in our animal family, yet you gave us this
precious gift of fire.”

First Place
Gene woke up nervous. The music contest was on Monday. Gene was scared.
“I can’t do it,” Gene said to his parents.
“First you need to practice. I will help you,” Gene’s dad said. They practiced the
piano together every day.
Then Gene and his dad went to the contest. Gene heard the other students play.
They played very well. I don’t have a chance, Gene thought to himself.
Later it was Gene’s turn. He looked at his dad and felt better. Gene played
without any mistakes. He could not believe it when he heard his name called as the
first-place winner.

Finally, Gene wasn’t nervous anymore.
