Telling stories with characters as toys or animals close to children, model number 1:
For the past few days, the little mice have been causing havoc. They eat clumsily, gnaw on books, and even tear the delicate pink dress of the beautiful doll.
Little Cloud is very angry, thinking of ways to punish them. She quietly discusses with Kitten for a long time. Kitten eagerly nods and purrs in agreement.
In the evening twilight, a cage trap made of iron mesh is placed under the cupboard where the mice usually go. The trap's mouth is wide open. Inside the trap, a fragrant grilled fish is hooked onto a zinc wire bent like a fish hook. Tonight, no matter how the little mice try to eat, they all get caught in the trap.
All arrangements completed, little May sat at the desk to study. The wind gently breezed through the window frame. Outside, the sky twinkled with stars like mischievous eyes. Little May stepped outside to stretch and breathe in the fresh air before preparing for bed. Nestled beside her mother, she quickly drifted into a peaceful sleep.
Little May dreamt of a trap filled with mice. They scurried around inside the cramped cage, crying and begging for mercy. Little May and the kitten took turns questioning them. The crimes of these mice are too many! How could they be forgiven?
While little May slept, the kitten curled up in the kitchen corner, ears perked, listening intently to the faint footsteps of the mice. The kitten's keen nose could smell the stench of the mice from afar.
But... Oh! What's that delightful scent? The kitten sniffed around, drawn to the tantalizing aroma of grilled fish. Unable to resist any longer, the kitten darted into the trap. Snap! The trap closed, trapping the kitten inside. Fearlessly, the kitten leisurely devoured the delicious grilled fish. After eating, it stretched out and fell asleep.
Cock-a-doodle-doo! The crow of Mr. Rooster heralded the dawn, summoning Mr. Sun. A new day began, and Little May was already awake. Remembering last night's dream, she scampered downstairs to the kitchen. Oh! What's this? No sign of the mice, only Kitten peacefully sleeping in the cage. Little May chuckled, wondering, 'Could it be dreaming the same dream as mine from last night?'

Tell a story featuring toys or animals familiar to children, model number 2:
The morning sun had been shining for a while. Its rays streaming through the window woke me up. I called out softly, 'Little Pup, come here, darling!' But after calling two, three times, Little Pup didn't come bounding over joyfully as usual. Panic-stricken, I looked under the bed. It was empty! I rushed out to the yard, to the garden, but there was no sign of Little Pup anywhere. Did it leave? Perhaps it really did, because yesterday I told it a story about myself. Here's how it goes:
I had a beautiful and loud crowing Rooster. Every morning, he crowed to greet the dawn and wake me up. I cherished him dearly. Every day, I would give him handfuls of golden grains. One day, seeing that our neighbor had a lovely Hen, I liked it so much that I begged her to trade my Rooster for her Hen. As soon as Rooster heard that news, the red comb on his head drooped, and sadness washed over him.
From that day on, I pampered and cared for the beautiful Hen. She loved me too! Every day, she would gift me a pink egg.
Some time later, the neighbor came home with a Duckling. Oh, how captivating it was! The shiny yellow beak, the dark shiny eyes, the curved neck, and the silky white feathers! I wanted it so much, demanding to trade my Hen for the Duckling. When I carried Hen over to make the exchange, she looked so dejected, her wings drooping, her head tilted to the side, looking pitiful!
Then, quickly, I became close friends with Duck. We went to the river for a swim, and I brought Duck along. Duck frolicked with me, playing happily under the water. I enjoyed watching Duck dive and stand, preening its feathers.
After a while, a familiar person came to visit, bringing along a cute Puppy. I instantly fell in love with it and pleaded:
- Ma'am! Please give me that adorable Puppy! I'll give you my Duck in return!
Duck, hearing this, panicked and exclaimed:
- Please, ma'am! Don't do this! How could you ever abandon me?
I shrugged off Duck's words and forgot about it immediately because I already had the beautiful little Puppy.
One day, cradling the Puppy in my arms, I gently stroked its fluffy fur and whispered the story of my old friends to it:
- Do you know, Puppy? My first best friend was Rooster. Then I traded Rooster for Hen. And then I traded Hen for Duck. Finally, I traded Duck for you. I cherish you so much!
I thought Puppy would be delighted, but to my surprise, after hearing the story, it lowered its ears in thought. The next morning, it quietly left me.
Now, sitting alone in the empty house, I regret not valuing our friendship.
