"SNOW WHITE & THE SEVEN DWARFS"
versioned tale
In a faraway kingdom, there lives a beautiful princess named Snow White. Snow White has fair skin, rosy cheeks, and lips as red as cherries. Her hair is as black as ebony, and she's loved by everyone in the kingdom, including the animals.
In a grand castle, Snow White lives with her stepmother, the Queen. The Queen is very beautiful but terribly vain. She has got a magic mirror, and every day she asks, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" And the mirror always replies, "You, my Queen, are the fairest of them all."
One day, to the Queen's dismay, the magic mirror declares that Snow White is now the fairest in the land. The Queen becomes jealous and angry. She orders her huntsman to take Snow White deep into the forest and to bring back her heart as proof of her demise.
The huntsman, however, cannot bring himself to harm Snow White. He tells her to run away and hide in the forest, far from the Queen's reach. Snow White obeys and ventures into the forest, feeling scared but determined to survive.
As Snow White wanders deeper into the woods, she comes across a small cottage. She decides to enter and finds that it belongs to seven dwarfs named Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey, and Doc. The dwarfs agree to let Snow White stay with them and keep their house tidy while they work in the mines.
Meanwhile, back at the castle, the Queen discovers that Snow White is still alive. Consumed by rage, she concocts a plan to get rid of Snow White once and for all. She disguises herself as an old peddler woman and crafts a poisoned apple.
The Queen arrives at the cottage and offers the poisoned apple to Snow White, who innocently takes a bite and falls into a deep slumber. The dwarfs return home to find Snow White unconscious. They place her in a glass coffin and mourn her apparent death.
Days pass, and a handsome prince hears of Snow White's story. He travels to the forest, finds Snow White, and is captivated by her beauty. Moved by his love, he kisses her gently, breaking the curse of the poisoned apple. Snow White awakens, and the dwarfs rejoice!
The prince and Snow White return to the kingdom, where they confront the jealous Queen. In a fit of fury, the Queen tries to harm Snow White once more but fails. She is banished from the kingdom forever, and Snow White and the prince live happily ever after.
From that day forward, Snow White learns that true beauty comes from kindness, love, and inner strength, and she reigns as a beloved queen, spreading joy and happiness throughout the land. And as for the seven dwarfs, they remain Snow White's loyal friends, always by her side in times of need.

"THE THREE LITTLE PIGS"
versioned tale
This is a versioned story about the three little pigs, all brothers, who live in the British countryside. Their names are Percy, Oliver, and Charlie. They decide it's time to leave their cozy home with their mum and make houses of their own.
Percy, the eldest, is a hardworking pig. He loves building things with bricks. "I'll build the strongest house," he says proudly, "one that can't be blown down by anyone or anything!" So, he starts laying bricks, one by one, singing happily as he works.
Oliver, the second brother, is a bit of a dreamer. He decides to build his house out of sticks. "Sticks are strong too, and it's quicker to build with them," he says, twirling around with excitement. He gathers as many sticks as he can find and begins weaving them together.
Charlie, the youngest of the three, is a cheerful pig who loves to sing and dance. He decides to make his house out of straw. "Straw is soft and comfy," he says, humming a tune as he stacks bundles of straw to make his house.
As Percy lays his bricks, he sees his brothers working on their houses. "What are you doing with those flimsy sticks and straw?" he asks, shaking his head.
Oliver shrugs. "My house might not be as strong as yours, but it'll be cozy and quick to build!"
Charlie nods in agreement. "And mine will be the comfiest of all!"
Meanwhile, lurking in the shadows, the big bad wolf watches the three little pigs. He's hungry and thinks the pigs would make a delicious dinner.
The next day, Percy finishes his brick house. It stands tall and sturdy, a testament to his hard work. He invites his brothers to come and see.
"It's impressive, Percy!" Oliver exclaims, admiring the solid structure.
Charlie nods, "It looks strong enough to withstand anything!"
As the three little pigs celebrate, they hear a howl in the distance. It's the big bad wolf, and he's on the prowl.
The wolf arrives at Oliver's house first, the one made of sticks. He knocks on the door, trying to sound friendly. "Little pig, little pig, let me come in!"
Oliver, seeing the wolf's sharp teeth, panics. "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!"
The wolf huffs and puffs, blowing the stick house down in one mighty gust. Oliver squeals and runs to Percy's brick house for safety.
Next, the wolf arrives at Charlie's house, the one made of straw. He repeats his request, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in!"
Charlie, hearing what happened to Oliver, trembles. "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!"
With a fierce blow, the wolf blows the straw house down, sending Charlie running to Percy's brick house.
Now, the wolf stands before Percy's sturdy brick house. He knows it won't be easy to blow down, but he's determined to catch those little pigs.
"Little pig, little pig, let me come in!" he growls.
But Percy, brave and unafraid, stands firm. "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!"
The wolf huffs and puffs, but the brick house stands strong against his mighty breath. Frustrated, the wolf tries again and again, but the brick house remains unscathed.
Realizing he can't get in, the wolf slinks away, defeated. The three little pigs cheer in victory, safe and sound inside Percy's brick house.
From that day on, Percy, Oliver, and Charlie live happily ever after in their sturdy brick house, knowing that hard work and determination can overcome any challenge.

SPENDING A DAY AT THE BEACH
Once upon a time, during a bright and sunny summer day, there was a cheerful boy named Tommy. Tommy was excited because his family was going to spend the day at the beach. He loved the beach because it was always full of fun and adventure.
As
soon as they arrived, Tommy could feel the warm sand beneath his feet. He
kicked off his shoes and ran towards the water, feeling the cool breeze on his
face. The sky was a beautiful shade of blue, with fluffy clouds floating lazily
above.
Tommy's
family spread out their colourful beach towels and set up a big umbrella to
provide shade from the sun. Tommy's little sister, Lily, immediately started
building a sandcastle with her bucket and spade. Tommy decided to join her and
together they built the biggest sandcastle they had ever seen. They added
seashells and seaweed to decorate it, making it look like a magical castle from
a storybook.
After
building the sandcastle, Tommy and Lily went for a walk along the shore. They
searched for seashells and colourful rocks, giggling and laughing as they
discovered treasures hidden in the sand. Tommy found a shiny seashell that he
decided to keep as a souvenir of their beach adventure.
As
they walked, Tommy spotted a group of children playing beach volleyball. He
asked his parents if he could join in, and they happily agreed. Tommy ran
towards the group and soon found himself diving and jumping to hit the ball
over the net. It was so much fun, and he made new friends while playing.
After
playing volleyball, Tommy felt hungry. His mum had packed a picnic basket full
of delicious sandwiches, fruits, and snacks. They spread out a picnic blanket
on the sand and enjoyed a tasty lunch together. Tommy's favourite part was the
juicy watermelon slices that cooled him down in the hot sun.
After
lunch, Tommy and Lily begged their parents to let them go for a swim in the
sparkling blue sea. They put on their colourful swimsuits and splashed into the
cool water, feeling refreshed and happy. Tommy loved swimming and diving
through the waves, pretending to be a brave pirate searching for treasure.
As
the afternoon wore on, Tommy and his family enjoyed building sandcastles,
playing games, and soaking up the warm sunshine. They flew a colourful kite in
the breeze and collected seashells to take home as souvenirs of their wonderful
day at the beach.
As
the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the horizon, Tommy and his
family gathered their belongings and said goodbye to the beach. They walked
back to their car, tired but happy after a day filled with laughter, adventure,
and fun.
As
they drove home, Tommy looked out of the window at the fading sunlight and
smiled. He knew that he would always cherish the memories of their special day
at the beach, and he couldn't wait to come back again soon.

OLIVER & LILY'S
FOOD ADVENTURE
In a cozy little village nestled between green hills and meadows, two best friends named Oliver and Lily live. They are both six years old and love playing outside in the sunshine.
Oliver and Lily are inseparable. They go to the same
school, play in the same park, and share everything, including their love for
food. However, there is something about their food choices that isn't quite
right.
Every day, Oliver and Lily munch on crisps,
chocolate bars, and fizzy drinks. They think these snacks are yummy, but they
don't know that too much of them isn't good for their bodies.
One sunny morning, Oliver and Lily decide to go on
an adventure in the nearby forest. They pack their favourite snacks and skip
along the winding path, giggling and chatting all the way.
As they venture deeper into the forest, they stumble
upon a magical clearing filled with colourful fruits and vegetables. It's like
nothing they have ever seen before!
"Lily, look at all these fruits and
veggies!" exclaims Oliver, his eyes wide with wonder.
Lily gasps in amazement. "Wow, they look so
juicy and delicious!"
Curious and excited, Oliver and Lily approach the
array of fruits and vegetables. There are plump strawberries, crunchy carrots,
juicy apples, and so much more.
"I've never tried fruits and veggies like these
before," says Lily, reaching out to touch a shiny apple.
Oliver nods in agreement. "Me neither. But they
look so fresh and yummy!"
Just as they are about to pick some fruits and
veggies to taste, they hear a soft voice behind them. It's a friendly rabbit
named Rosie, who is the guardian of the magical clearing.
"Hello, young ones! I see you've found my
special garden," says Rosie, her whiskers twitching with delight.
Oliver and Lily smile at Rosie, feeling a little shy
but very excited to meet her.
"We're Oliver and Lily, and we love exploring
new places!" says Oliver, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Rosie chuckles softly. "I'm pleased to meet you
both, Oliver and Lily. Would you like to try some of the fruits and vegetables
from my garden?"
Oliver and Lily nod eagerly, their mouths watering
at the thought of tasting the fresh produce.
Rosie leads them around the garden, showing them the
different fruits and vegetables. She explains how each one grows and why they
are good for their bodies.
"Strawberries are sweet and full of vitamins
that make your body strong," Rosie explains, plucking a ripe strawberry
from the vine.
"And carrots help you see in the dark because
they're full of something called vitamin A!" Lily exclaims, holding up a
crunchy carrot.
Oliver's eyes widen in amazement. "Wow, I
didn't know food could do all that!"
Rosie smiles warmly. "Nature provides us with
everything we need to be healthy and happy. It's important to eat a variety of
foods to keep our bodies strong and full of energy."
Oliver and Lily listen intently, their tummies
rumbling with hunger and excitement.
After their magical adventure in the garden, Oliver
and Lily say goodbye to Rosie and skip back home, their hearts full of newfound
knowledge and joy.
When they arrive home, they look at the snacks they
have brought with them. Instead of reaching for the crisps and chocolate bars,
they decide to try something different.
Oliver slices up some juicy apples while Lily washes
some plump strawberries. They arrange their fruity feast on a plate and sit
down together to enjoy their wholesome snack.
As they savour the fresh, juicy fruits, Oliver and
Lily feel a burst of energy and happiness. They realise that healthy food can
be just as tasty and satisfying as their usual snacks.
From that day on, Oliver and Lily make a promise to
each other and themselves. They promise to eat more fruits and vegetables every
day and to explore new foods together.
And so, in their little village nestled between
green hills and meadows, Oliver and Lily embark on a delicious and nutritious
food adventure, discovering the wonders of healthy eating one bite at a time.
And they live happily and healthily ever after.
The end.
