It was a crisp October day, I woke up to the other dogs whining as the shelter workers let us all out of our kennels. Yes! Freedom! I ran so fast to the playroom to play with my friends! Today was going to be a big day - I can feel it! I played for hours and hours, until I had to have a nap. After lunch I saw two humans walk in and sit on the floor. Everyone crowded around them, jumping on them. Get yourself together guys I thought. I quietly walked over and sat by the mans huge feet. I knew the drill, people visited us all the time and had a few cuddles. As I sat watching the commotion of Simba getting silly all over this ladies lap. I met eyes with the lady human, she immediately picked me up. My legs were dangling and I thought jeez lady I just had breakfast. I stared into her and she stared back, she said "its you, your the one." I said to myself ok lady, do you have food or a ball? The lady stood up and talked with a shelter worker, she came back and said "I'm going to be your new Mom" and I thought "Mom?." She said she would be back, she came back with a new collar and name tag with the name "Koda."

HISTORIA DIVERTIDA DE NINA DE 10 ANOS, CON PADRES INMIGRANTES, VIVIENDO DOS CULTURAS

我名叫李文祺,生於香港但在美國讀書長大。前陣子我決定回到香港老家龍躍頭走走,探尋自己的家族根源。 當我踏入這個小村莊時,立即被它獨特的氛圍所吸引。陽光灑落在斑駁的青磚牆上,散發出一股歲月雋永的味道。傍晚時分,我漫步在狹窄的主巷上,映入眼簾的是整整齊齊的中式厝舍,屋簷前懸掛的古老木雕和陶塑裝飾更是令人讚嘆。 走近仔細觀察,這些房舍無不精心設計,斗拱、檐板上的細緻雕刻猶如置身於一個時光隧道。我忍不住伸手撫摸著這些曾經見證過歷史的磚塊,感受它們散發出的沧桑感。原來,這些防禦性極強的圍牆和護城河,都是為了對抗當年肆虐一時的海盜們,守護著這片淳樸的村莊。 沿著蜿蜒的小徑來到一座宏偉的宗祠,松嶺鄧公祠。進入大殿,我被那精緻的木雕、壁畫和斗拱深深吸引住了。置身其中,我仿佛感受到了鄧氏先祖的英勇事蹟和崇高精神。這裏無疑是這個古老家族的靈魂所在。 漫步在寧靜的天后宮前庭,我聆聽著空靈的鐘聲,便會不自覺地沉浸在寧謐祥和的氛圍中。這裏保存著珍貴的青銅古鐘,每次擊響都訴說著這個村莊的動人故事。我不禁想像,多少善信在此虔誠懇求,又有多少鄧族子弟在此祈求平安順利。 這個被時光深深烙印的龍躍頭,無疑是一個值得細細品味的寶地。走在這裏,彷彿可以穿梭時光,感受到前人創造的文化價值和歷史傳統。我衷心希望,這片養育我家族的淳樸土地,能永遠保持它應有的神韻和魅力。

In the village of Harmoni, Serena was known for her kindness and her ability to create wonderful toys. One day, she noticed that the children in the village were often bored and lacked engaging toys to play with. Serena came up with a brilliant idea: “What if we open a toy shop that sells special toys for the village children?” She shared this idea with Pak Dedi, who fully supported it. Serena then began planning and preparing for the toy shop. Serena asked Aqma, a village boy skilled in making wooden toys and clay figurines, to help her. Together, they created various toys, from wooden cars to cloth dolls. However, despite their best efforts, Serena felt that something was still missing. With her talent and determination, Serena kept improving her toys, making them more creative and fun. Finally, the toy shop was ready to open. The village children eagerly lined up, excited to see the new toys. The toy shop was an immediate success. The children, who had been bored before, were now full of joy and energy, playing with their new toys. Pak Dedi was very proud of Serena. “You’ve taught us all about the importance of creativity and bringing happiness to the village,” he said. Since then, Serena and Aqma continued to create toys that spread joy, making the village of Harmoni a place full of happiness for everyone.

The smell of boiled crawfish filled the Louisiana kitchen, mixing with steam rising from the big silver pot. The wooden table was covered in newspaper, already stained with seasoning, and piled high with bright red crawfish, steaming potatoes, and golden corn. Gage sat on his knees, eyes wide as he stared at the mound of crawfish in front of him. His little brother wiggled in his high chair, smacking the tray while Daddy leaned back with a grin, beer in hand. Momma rolled up her sleeves. “Alright, cher, time to learn how to peel a crawfish.” Gage hesitated. “What if I mess up?” Momma laughed, grabbing a fat crawfish. “Ain’t no wrong way, long as you get the meat out. But I’ll show you the right way.” She held the crawfish up. “First, grab it where the head and tail meet—right here. Now twist.” With a quick motion, she popped off the head. “Some folks suck the head for the good juices.” Gage gagged. “Ew, no way!” Daddy chuckled. “More for me, then!” Momma shook her head, smiling. “Alright, suit yourself. Now, pinch the end of the tail, squeeze a little, and pull.” She slid out the perfect piece of meat and dipped it in butter. “See? Easy.” Gage copied her, his fingers fumbling at first—twist, pinch, pull. Out came the juicy meat. “I did it!” Momma clapped. “That’s my boy! Now try it.” He dipped it in the butter and took a bite. His face lit up. “Mmm! That’s good!” His little brother babbled, reaching for the pile. Daddy laughed. “Looks like we got another crawfish lover.” The kitchen filled with laughter as they peeled and ate, passing corn and potatoes around. Gage wiped his hands and reached for another. “Momma, I think I’m getting good at this.” Momma ruffled his hair. “Told you, cher. Crawfish season ain’t just about eatin’. It’s about family.” And that night, under the warm glow of their Cajun kitchen, Gage became a true crawfish peeler.

1. THE SNAKE’S FALL Once upon a time, there was a snake who thought he was the strongest and smartest animal in the forest. 2. THE HUNGRY SNAKE MEETS THE FISH Fish: “Please, don't eat us, Mr. Snake! We are small and have families too.” Snake: “I Don't care about your families. I am hungry, and you are food!” The snake ate as many fish as he could and slithered out of the river, his belly full. 3. 3 MEETING THE RABBIT At the river's edge, he saw a mother rabbit feeding her baby. Rabbit: “Please don't eat me, Mr. Snake. My baby needs me. She is too small to take care of herself alone.” Snake: “I only care about my hunger!” 4. THE CLEVER SQUIRREL AND BIRD High in a tree, a squirrel saw what was happening and called his friend, a bird. “We need to stop the snake Squirrel: “We need to stop the snake.” Bird: “Oh, mighty snake! did you know there’s a treasure hidden under the big oak tree? Only the strongest can find it!” 5. 5 FINDING THE TREASURE Curious and proud, the snake slithered to the oak tree, leaving the rabbit behind. He dug and dug but found nothing. Snake: “Where is the treasure?” Bird: “The treasure isn’t gold. It’s kindness.” Squirrel: “That's true. True strength comes from helping others, not hurting them.” 6. A NEW BEGINNING The snake thought about the fish and the rabbit and felt ashamed. “I want to be better,” he said. He apologized to the rabbit and promised to change. From that day on, the snake became friends with the squirrel, bird, rabbit, and even the fish. Together, they showed the forest that kindness is the greatest treasure.

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.
