in danger? Should we run to the neighbour’s farm? Where is the fox?” bleating the group

In a small village, lived a group of sheep with soft and thick wool. They lived together
peacefully on a farm. It was winter, one of the sheep wanted to play but the other
preferred to sleep. So, he came up with an idea to wake up all the sheep.

One night, the liar sheep wanted to get some fresh air. He went outside and ate the
grass. Without him realizing, a fox was watching him from a distance. The fox planned to
make the sheep as its prey. The liar sheep saw the fox, and he began to run to save his
life. “Help……Help me……..a fox was chasing after me. Help me…….,” cried the liar sheep.

The one fox told the group that there was not a fox and it was just him joking around. He
could not stop laughing. The other sheep felt a great sense of relief because they were
safe. Then, they went back to sleep.

The one sheep started to laugh and while he opened the door. “Look, no fox was here.
You all just got fooled by me again. Ha ha ha,” said the one sheep. “You are a liar. How
could you do that?” the other sheep could not hold the anger. The liar sheep kept
laughing, and the group left him alone. They were angry and disturbed by him.

“Wake up!!! There’s a fox in our house!!!! Wake up!!!” shouted the one sheep. The
others, half-awake, fled in panic. The one sheep was laughing to see the crowd.

The next day, Pinocchio was kidnapped by the circus owner. The owner made Pinocchio as one of
the performers because people loved to see a talking puppet. Gepetto worried about him and
began to search for him anywhere. When he was looking for Pinocchio at the sea, a big wave
smashed and a whale swallowed him.

Pinocchio finally escaped from the circus. He then heard that Gepetto the carpenter
was swallowed by a whale. He directly went to the sea and got swallowed by the same
whale. Pinocchio was happy to see the carpenter, and so did Gepetto. They both planned
to go out from the whale’s stomach.

“Pinocchio, I will turn you into a real boy. But, promise me you will be a good one. You
have to respect Gepetto,” told the fairy to Pinocchio. “I will be a good boy and
respect Gepetto,” repeated Pinocchio.

The whale sneezed because of the tickling, and both carpenter and Pinocchio got out
and went home safely. From that day, Pinocchio turned into a real good boy.

The next day, Gepetto was joyful to see Pinocchio alive. He taught him to speak, walk, and
read just like a human. After that, he studied at elementary school. However, he got bored of
going to school everyday. He decided to go to a circus and it made him late to come home.

Long time ago, there was an old carpenter named Gepetto who carved a puppet in the
shape of a boy. This puppet is called Pinocchio. Gepetto wanted Pinocchio to be a living
thing. A fairy heard his wish and fulfilled it.

“Why do you come home so late, Pinocchio?” asked the carpenter. “I got a lot of
assignments in school. I have to finish it with my friends,” answered Pinocchio. However,
Pinocchio’s nose grew longer indicating he was lying.
