The river lived alone and did not have any friends.The river lived alone for years until one day a little boy decided to free his goldfish called Goldie.Goldie was a very friendly fish. He sensed the river’s loneliness and decided to help the river.So Goldie swam and swam in the river and even invited his friends. Soon the river was filled with plants and fish.First, the river was unaccepting of the new members but after a while, made new friends.The river thought about why it had no friends for all these years. It was because it had isolated itself and refused to help cater to any plants and animals.But seeing how his new friends had helped him feel less lonely and good, it decided to be a good friend too.Then the river was always happy and smiling. It helped the plants grow, the fish swim, boats float and animals drink water from it.The river realised that although it may sometimes be a bit inconvenient or uncomfortable, it was always better to have friends and to try to be happy. Moral:Friends make life better and easier.

The river

Noah and his animals were on the Ark (boat) and the things were getting a bit boring. Noah and his animals were very getting very bored. They had spent many days and they started organizing games and activities to enjoy. They all got very excited and started playing games enthusiastically. They became very loud and noisy. Due to the excitement, the woodpecker ended up drilling a hole in the bottom of the ark. Suddenly the water started entering the boat. Due to the force of water, the hole became bigger. More water came inside the boat, and everyone became a little scared.As the condition of the boat was becoming worse, every animal tried to fix the hole. One by one, they tried to fix the hole. They even got competitive because they wanted to be the animal that saved the ark. They all tried but nothing worked. The beaver even built a dam over the hole but that too did not stop the water coming from the hole. After looking at all this finally, the bee started talking. She explained to everyone that all of them should work together in order to save the ark from sinking. She said that everyone should do the work they are best at. Everyone agreed and started working together. They started doing what they were best at.Everyone started contributing their part to cover the hole. The birds grabbed the parts of the ark with beaks and flapped their wings furiously, lifting the boat up a little. The animals who could run fast collected all the materials quickly and supplied to others. Other animals stuffed that material into the hole quickly. The elephants sucked the water in and shot it back into the sea.Everyone worked in unity and that helped them in reducing the amount of water into the ark. But the water did not stop completely; it was still entering the ark. The animals were a little scared and they saw around to look for help. They wondered if there were any other animals that could help them. They looked everywhere. But there was no one. Suddenly, a little fish swam in through the hole. The animals were happy to see her and thought there were still animals left who could help them. They asked the fish to go and call everyone to help save the ark.Fish quickly went into the sea and called everyone. Soon, many fishes arrived at the ark. Even a big whale came to save them. The big whale pressed its belly against the hole in the ark. This stopped the water from entering into the ark. So, animals got more time to cover up the hole. Finally, they were successful in covering the hole in the ark. Moral:Unity is strength.
