Once upon a time, there were four fairies reigning as queens of the seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each fairy had a splendid palace on a high mountain, only appearing during their designated season. However, one year, Winter inexplicably lingered. Trees and animals shivered in the cold, anxiously awaiting the delayed arrival of the Spring fairy.
The animals convened a meeting to choose a representative to welcome the Spring fairy and investigate the delay. The lion, boasting strength and courage, volunteered but eventually succumbed to exhaustion. The peacock, claiming beauty and splendor, embarked on the journey but left gifts behind. Finally, the humble swallow volunteered.
Despite its modest appearance, the swallow's determination led to a heartwarming encounter with the Spring fairy. From that day on, whenever the swallow soared in the sky, all creatures knew that the Spring fairy was about to grace the mortal realm.
Lesson for kids: In life, it's essential to care and share with others, avoiding selfishness.
The Spring AmbassadorOnce upon a time, in the fresh and beautiful morning of spring, a vibrant red rose blossomed gloriously in the midst of the forest. What made it special was its pride in the beauty it possessed. Contrary to this, next to the rose grew an ugly cactus. Day after day, the rose always spoke disdainfully about the appearance of the cactus. Ignoring these harsh words, the cactus chose to remain silent.
One day, as the scorching heat of summer arrived, causing everything to become dry and parched, the once-beautiful rose began to wither. Suddenly, the rose saw a sparrow pecking at the cactus to get water. After inquiring from the sparrow, the rose realized that the cactus was its savior. Despite feeling extremely embarrassed, the rose humbly asked for water from the cactus, accompanied by an apology for its previous behavior. In the end, both endured the harsh summer as the best of friends.
Lesson learned: A wonderful children's short story about the arrogant red rose teaches kids the importance of not judging others solely based on their appearance and the value of humility. As the saying goes, 'Good deeds are better than good looks.'
The Arrogant Red Rose3. The Black Sheep's Be Be
Once upon a time, there was a black sheep living in a small house. Every spring, the black sheep meticulously sheared its wool and sold it in the market to those in need of warm clothing.
One year, the black sheep noticed that black wool was no longer in demand. Despite having a substantial amount of wool remaining, it didn't want to waste it, so it decided to continue selling. However, no one seemed interested in buying its wool. Disheartened, the black sheep brought the wool back home. The next day, it tried to sell again, but the outcome was the same. And the day after, and the day after that.
One day, while the black sheep was sitting sadly with its wool, a boy ran up and asked if it was selling the wool. Excitedly, the black sheep said yes. The boy ran to his parents, letting them know about the place selling black sheep wool. They came together, expressing their intent to buy all the remaining wool. They mentioned being from the neighboring village and had searched many places without success.
That day, the black sheep returned home, feeling incredibly happy that its efforts had been rewarded.
Lesson learned: The story teaches children the importance of perseverance, resilience, and never giving up. It instills the idea that success will come to those who try and persist.
The Black Sheep's Be Be
The Black Sheep's Be BeOnce upon a time, there was no Spring, my dear. A year only had three seasons: Summer, Fall, and Winter. They say Spring arrives when a rainbow of many colors appears, and all flowers compete to bloom!
The rainbow only comes in Summer when the sun appears after a rain shower. However, flowers bloom scattered throughout the year, all over the Earth, so they can't synchronize. After the freezing Winter, the scorching Summer comes suddenly, causing great distress to all creatures. Everyone wishes for a warm season, so everyone loves to hear stories about Spring and dreams of welcoming it.
There was a little Rabbit living in that green forest with its mother. Every season change, the Rabbit's mother fell ill. Feeling sorry for its mother, the Rabbit discussed with wise old Monkey:
– Mr. Monkey, why don't we make a beautiful rainbow to welcome the gentle Spring to us?
– But how do we do that? – Old Monkey hesitated to ask.
– I will gather the forest friends to contribute their most beautiful fur to make a multicolored rainbow.
Old Monkey agreed with the Rabbit. The news spread everywhere. All the animals in the forest, wanting to meet the gentle Spring, happily contributed their most beautiful colors. There was the brown color of Bear, the silky yellow of Deer, the gray of Squirrel… Even birds like Peacock, Parrot, and Kingfisher contributed their colorful feathers. The fishes sent a bag full of sparkling scales to make the rainbow. The wise Bird began connecting these colorful pieces to create the rainbow.
Meanwhile, the Rabbit set out to find various types of flowers. It traveled everywhere, crossing one forest to another, to meet each kind of flower, persuading them to bloom simultaneously to welcome Spring. Touched by the Rabbit's filial piety for its mother, all the flowers agreed to accumulate nutrients and wait for the Wind to bring the news for them to bloom together.
Meaning: The story affirms the significance of Spring – the season of life and vitality, always the most anticipated season. At the same time, the story praises the Rabbit's sincere heart for its mother, and that sincere heart moved heaven and earth, bringing Spring to all creatures.
Lesson Learned: To accomplish big tasks, we need unity and love for one another.
The Tale of SpringOnce upon a time, there was a poor little boy, but incredibly obedient and kind. He was always ready to help, caring for everyone, and taking care of everything around him. The boy was greatly beloved by various birds. So, every spring, birds chirped and gathered around his house, making nests and singing joyfully.
One day, a Fox from somewhere came to catch a Swallow on the boy's roof. The young Swallow fell and broke its wing. The boy hurriedly rushed out to rescue the bird. He cradled and comforted the young Swallow. Determined, he brought the injured Swallow home, created a new nest, and daily cared for and fed the Swallow, showering it with love and attention. Thanks to the boy's devoted care, the Swallow gradually healed.
As the late autumn arrived, the weather turned cold. Every day, when the boy saw flocks of Swallows flying hastily to the South to escape the cold, the Swallow hesitated, torn between joining the flock or lingering with the boy. Understanding the Swallow's heart, the boy tenderly said: 'Fly with the flock to the warm South. In spring, you'll come back to me.' Saying this, he released the Swallow into the sky. The small Swallow fluttered into a large flock heading to the warm lands in the South, leaving a lingering affection for the boy.
Beautiful spring arrived. The Swallow returned to the simple yet warm home of the boy. It chirped in celebration when it saw the boy sitting, weaving a basket in the yard. The Swallow gracefully descended, dropping a large seed in front of the boy. The boy chose a good spot in the yard, buried the seed in the soil.
Every day, the boy watered and took care of the plant. In no time, the seed sprouted into a plant. The plant grew rapidly, blooming and bearing fruit. Strangely, the plant was lush and healthy, but it produced only one fruit. Every day, the boy still lovingly cared for the fruit.
With the boy's meticulous care, the fruit grew larger and larger. The fruit became enormous, much taller than the boy. The boy was overjoyed!
When harvest time came, the boy wanted to bring the first fruit home. But the fruit was too large; the entire family had to work together to carry it. Everyone was happy when taking a turn to carry it.
When they cut open the fruit at home, everyone was surprised... Oh! It's miraculous! Inside the golden and silver fruit were countless treasures. The boy's family joyfully called neighbors over, sharing the gold, silver, and treasures found inside the first fruit.
In the village, there was a greedy and wicked landlord. He heard about it and wanted Swallows to bring him many first fruits. He found a way to catch a young Swallow and broke its wing. Then, he pretended to pity the Swallow, brought it home, and raised it.
When autumn came, seeing the first flock of Swallows in the sky, he quickly threw the Swallow into the air, saying: 'Fly, little Swallow! Hurry and bring the first fruit back to me!' The poor Swallow staggered away.
Miraculously, the next spring, it returned, carrying a large fruit. The greedy landlord was overjoyed, thinking, 'I'll be rich now!'
Ecstatic, he ordered someone to sow the seed and guarded it day and night. He forced his servant to take care of the plant rigorously without any negligence. The plant, huge as it was, grew steadily...
When the fruit was ripe, he asked everyone to leave. He closed the door, and all alone, he cut open the first fruit. To his horror, there were no gold, silver, or treasures—only snakes and insects. The snakes and insects crawled out from the fruit, causing the greedy landlord to panic, falling backward, bitten to death by the snakes.
Lesson Learned: We must live harmoniously with nature, diligently, and always be ready to help others in difficult times.
The First Fruit6. The Little Rabbit and Spring
In a charming forest, there lived an adorable little Rabbit. The little Rabbit adored spring because it always made his garden vibrant with colors. However, spring didn't linger for long. After spring came summer with its intense heat, preventing the flowers in the Rabbit's garden from blooming. When strolling through the garden, the Rabbit often heard the flowers sigh:
– It's too hot, dear Rabbit! Is there any way to help us?
Seeing the flowers suffer from the scorching sun, the Rabbit felt great compassion. But what could he do now?
One day, the Rabbit decided to seek the Rain Fairy for help. Rumor had it that the Rain Fairy often hid behind dark clouds on the top of a high mountain. The journey was tough, but the Rabbit didn't lose heart.
Eventually, the Rabbit reached the mountaintop! Looking up at the dark clouds, at first, the Rabbit felt a bit scared as they seemed fierce. But the image of flowers struggling to bloom under the harsh sunlight made the Rabbit brave.
– Please, Rain Fairy, cool the flowers in my garden! – The Rabbit took a deep breath and spoke loudly.
– Hello, dear Rabbit! You're so brave and adorable. Go back to your garden! I'll make rain right away! – The Rain Fairy kindly agreed.
– Thank you, Rain Fairy! Saying this, the Rabbit dashed back home. As soon as he reached the garden gate, it started raining. The raindrops refreshed the blooming flowers. And then, a magical sight unfolded before the Rabbit's eyes: delicate, vibrant petals swaying and greeting him.
The Rabbit rejoiced, exclaiming, “Oh, spring, spring has returned!”
Lesson Learned: Encourage love for nature in children, teach them courage, and instill a sense of compassion and helpfulness towards others in need.
The Little Rabbit and SpringIn the flower garden, every flower believed itself to be the most beautiful. The Rose claimed:
- Without me, the garden would lose its beauty.
The Lily said:
- Without me, no one would bother visiting the garden.
The Violet hurriedly added:
- The beauty of the garden is because of me! My purple attire and gentle appearance are truly marvelous.
Then, the Orchid, Daisy, Lavender, Money Plant... all competed to boast that they were the most beautiful, making the entire garden lively. Only one tree in the corner stood silently. That tree had countless slender brown branches and sparse green leaves. Seeing it, the flowers said:
- What kind of tree has such angular branches, with no flowers at all?
From then on, no one mentioned the tree in the corner anymore.
On the thirtieth morning of Tet, the owner entered the flower garden and said:
- Greetings to the spring flowers!
The entire flower garden buzzed with excitement. Every flower, hopeful to be chosen for Tet day, faced the owner. Strangely, the owner ran to the garden corner and exclaimed:
- Oh, the cherry blossom tree is gorgeous!
All flower varieties suddenly realized the angular tree they usually ignored now wore a magnificent coat. Thousands of lovely pink flowers were playfully dancing in the warm spring sunlight.
The flowers asked Cherry Blossom:
- How did you manage to have such beautiful flowers?
Cherry Blossom gently replied:
- It's thanks to Mother Earth's nurturing, the rain and sunshine throughout the four seasons, and the early morning care by the owner's hands!'
The owner continued:
- It's also thanks to Cherry Blossom's humility, simplicity, perseverance, and courage to endure the cold wind and dewdrops. Throughout the year, Cherry Blossom devoted everything to bring forth the beautiful flowers, presenting the fragrance of spring to all of us.
Now, the flowers understood. They felt ashamed of their past attitudes and said softly:
- Cherry Blossom, can we join you in bringing fragrance on Tet day?
Cherry Blossom and the owner replied:
- Of course! Come on, let's celebrate the New Year together!
The entire flower garden bloomed with vibrant colors and intoxicating fragrance to welcome the arrival of spring.
Lesson Learned: The story praises the virtues of humility and modesty, advising us not to boast arrogantly. The most beautiful flower is one that bows its head, remains silent, sacrifices for others, and never seeks credit for itself.
The Spring FairyIn the bitterly cold days of winter, as the snow fell pure white, both Mother Rabbit and Baby Rabbit wore elegant white fur coats.
Come spring, little Rabbit still wore the white fur coat. In the forest, Mrs. Hen had switched to a beautiful floral dress for spring, with fields full of red flowers and green leaves. In winter, covered in white snow, it was best to wear a white coat to hide better!
By the lake, a friend Frog, just waking up, emitted a green glow like grass all over its body. Even the Crickets changed into new spring outfits: the one who liked hopping on the grass wore a green coat, while the one who preferred hopping on the soil wore a brown coat. Seeing Baby Rabbit, Cricket jeered:
- Ha ha! Still wearing a fur coat in spring? Thoroughly foolish Rabbit!
Embarrassed, Baby Rabbit ran straight home, insisting that Mom must change the clothes. Mom Rabbit laughed and said:
- Try looking in the mirror.
And strangely, in the mirror, Baby Rabbit saw that it had grown many gray hairs. Overjoyed, Rabbit exclaimed:
- Ah! I see it now, Mom! I've put on my spring clothes!
For the next few days, the Rabbit family changed all their fur and put on new spring clothes.
Lesson Learned: Children cherish spring, obey their grandparents, parents, and teachers.
The Spring Coat9. The Fox, the Rabbit, and the Rooster
Once upon a time, in that forest, there was a Fox and a Rabbit. The Fox had an ice house, while the Rabbit had a wooden house. When spring arrived, the Fox's house melted into water. The Fox asked to warm up at the Rabbit's house and then kicked the Rabbit out.
The Rabbit walked and cried. A moment later, the Rabbit met a pack of Dogs.
The Dogs asked the Rabbit:
- Why is the Rabbit crying?
- How can I not cry? I have a wooden house, while the Fox has an ice house. When spring comes, the Fox's house turns into water. The Fox asked to warm up at my house and then kicked me out.
- Rabbit, don't cry anymore!
The Dogs comforted the Rabbit.
- We'll chase the Fox away.
The Dogs and the Rabbit went to the Rabbit's house. The Dogs said:
- Woof! Woof! Woof! Fox, get out!
The Fox sitting on the hearth replied:
- If I jump out, you'll all be in pieces!
The Dogs got scared and ran away.
The Rabbit sat under a bush and cried again. A Bear walked by, and the Bear asked:
- Why is the Rabbit crying?
- How can I not cry? I have a wooden house, while the Fox has an ice house. When spring comes, the Fox's house turns into water. The Fox asked to warm up at my house and then kicked me out.
- Rabbit, don't cry! I'll chase the Fox away!
- No, Uncle Bear, don't. You can't chase it away. If the Dogs can't do it, how can you?
- I can do it!
The Bear said determinedly. The Bear and the Rabbit went to the Rabbit's house. The Bear roared:
- Fox, get out!
The Fox sitting on the hearth replied:
- If I jump out, you'll all be in pieces!
The Bear got scared and ran away.
The Rabbit returned, sat under the bush, and cried. A Rooster with a red crest walked by, carrying a sickle on its shoulder. The Rooster saw the Rabbit crying and asked:
- Why is the Rabbit crying?
- How can I not cry? I have a wooden house, while the Fox has an ice house. When spring comes, the Fox's house turns into water. The Fox asked to warm up at my house and then kicked me out.
- Let's go home. I'll chase the Fox away.
- No! You can't. If the Dogs can't do it, if the Bear can't do it, how can you?
- Watch me!
The Rooster and the Rabbit went home. The Rooster sang:
- Cock-a-doodle-doo.
I carry a sickle on my shoulder
Looking for the wicked Fox
Where is the Fox!
The Fox, frightened, said:
- I'm changing clothes!
The Rooster sang again:
- Cock-a-doodle-doo.
I carry a sickle on my shoulder
Looking for the wicked Fox
Where is the Fox!
The Fox said:
- Give me a fur coat!
This time the Rooster shouted:
- Cock-a-doodle-doo.
I carry a sickle on my shoulder
Looking for the wicked Fox
Where is the Fox!
The Fox jumped out of the wooden house and ran into the forest. Since then, the Rabbit has lived in its own house.
Lesson Learned: The story helps children develop language skills, makes them more confident, and teaches them to love and help others around them.
The Fox, the Rabbit, and the Rooster10. What Does Baby Rabbit Eat?
On a spring morning, Baby Rabbit wandered in the forest. It roamed for a long time but found nothing to eat. Baby Rabbit met Rooster, who was threshing grain. Rooster invited,
- Hey Rabbit! I have plenty of golden grains. Join me for a feast.
Baby Rabbit replied,
- Thank you, but I can't eat golden grains.
Saying that, Baby Rabbit continued its journey. On the way, it encountered Cat enjoying a fish. Cat cheerfully invited,
- Rabbit, join me for a fish feast.
Baby Rabbit said,
- Thanks, Cat, but I can't eat fish.
Continuing its steps, Baby Rabbit felt weary and hungry. It sat under a tree and burst into tears, 'Hu, hu... I have nothing to eat!'
Just then, Kid Goat passed by carrying a bunch of carrots. Kid Goat offered Baby Rabbit two carrots. Baby Rabbit happily thanked Kid Goat and enjoyed the delicious carrots.
Lesson Learned: Educate children to be confident, disciplined, and team players. Teach them to help others in times of need. Develop quick and clever qualities.
