Maplewood was a happy town. But one day, news came that a sneaky weasel gang was hiding near the edge of the town. The animals were worried and wondered what they should do. Big Bucks Bear, who ran Maplewood Supply Company, had a plan. “We need strong walls and traps to keep the weasels out,” he said. Big Bucks told the animals that, just like during the Cold Forest Standoff years ago, they had to stay prepared and strong. But Penny the Raccoon had another idea. “What if we try to befriend the weasels or help them find a place to live?” she asked. She reminded everyone that spending too much on defense—like when the animals once sent nuts and supplies to faraway lands—could leave them without enough for themselves. Big Bucks was persuasive. He convinced Maplewood to use almost all of their savings to build walls, just like in the Squirrel-Bird Dispute over Nut Valley, when they built forts and traps. Soon, Maplewood was pouring all its resources into Big Bucks’ projects. Penny noticed that things around town were falling apart. With so much money going to walls and gadgets, there was hardly anything left to fix schools, parks, or even make enough food! “What if we’re using up our savings on things that don’t help us every day?” she thought. Penny gathered everyone and shared her plan. “Instead of building walls, let’s work together and share what we have. The world needs peace, just like we learned in the Forest Unity Days!” She reminded them that when the animals had shared their food and tools, they had more than enough. As the animals talked and listened, they realized that the weasels weren’t all bad. They just needed help, too. Penny and her friends invited the weasels to work and play together in Maplewood, and soon they were all sharing the forest’s food and shelter. He used his skills to help rebuild schools, parks, and homes, seeing that Maplewood was stronger when everyone worked together.

Noong bata ako ay nangangarap akong maging isang astronaut. Sobra akong natuwa sa mga palabas na may may siyentipikong bida na naghahangad na iligtas ang mundo gamit ang kaniyang talino. Labis akong namangha sa mga teknolohiyang ginamit nila at higit sa lahat, sa tapang at karunungang mayroon sila. Kaya naman, sinabi ko sa aking sarili na balang araw, magiging ganoon din ako. Matayog at mataas ang mga pangarap na mayroon ako. Kaya naman, hindi rin biro ang aking pagsusumikap upang maabot ang mga ito. Dahil dito naghahangad akong makapasok sa mga prestihiyosong eskwelahan upang mas mapaunlad ang aking kakayahan. Isa sa mga ito ay ang Philippines Science High School.

In a forgotten land, a gigantic red kangaroo named Big Red watched over all the animals. Every day, he bounded across the plains, mountains, rivers, and forests to reach a giant red rock. From there, he made sure every creature was safe and kind. One day, while crossing the river, Big Red found a bull shark and a crocodile fighting. He gently separated them with his huge paws and said, “Stop fighting. I want peace for all animals.” The shark and crocodile agreed to be kind. On another sunny day, Big Red was bounding toward his red rock when the ground beneath him crumbled. Rocks tumbled, and Big Red fell. The animals rushed to help, but Big Red was badly hurt. With a soft voice, he told them, “Don’t cry. I’ll become a star in the sky to watch over you.” Big Red closed his eyes, and his spirit rose, becoming the brightest star in the sky. That night, all the animals knew it was Big Red, still shining down, protecting them in the Land That Time Forgot.
