Top 10 Best Nursery School Stories for Children

The Little Cat sat near a tree, holding a brand-new, beautiful coloring book. After admiring it for a moment, the Little Cat went 'rip! rip!' and tore the pages. Seeing this, the Rooster, who was nearby looking for food, asked:
– What are you doing?
– I’m tearing the book to make toys! – replied the Little Cat.
Excitedly, the Little Cat admired the toys it had made, while the Rooster sternly said:
– You've ruined the book! You need to take better care of books!
The Little Cat walked away with its toys, muttering, “What’s the big deal? Why did the Rooster scold me?”
The Rooster overheard and called after it: “That’s a naughty cat who doesn’t listen!”
That night, the Little Cat lay in bed, wondering: “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why did the Rooster call me naughty?” The Little Cat drifted off to sleep. In a dream, the Little Cat saw the pictures and letters from the book, and everyone scolded it, saying they wouldn’t be its friend anymore.
Upon waking up, the Little Cat hurriedly gathered the torn pieces and tried to tape the book back together. It showed the Rooster the repaired book:
– Look, Rooster! I’ve fixed the book!
The Rooster looked at the book in surprise, then shook its head. The Little Cat had taped the pages incorrectly, mixing them up. The Rooster then calmly said:
– Books are valuable friends, bringing us a lot of useful knowledge. If you tear a book by accident, don’t just tape it carelessly like this!
The Little Cat lowered its head, feeling ashamed, and quietly said:
– I understand now! I’ll take better care of books!
From that day on, the Little Cat never tore books again. After reading, it would carefully put the books away.

The numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on, up to number 10, were always playing happily together. But today, they started arguing loudly. Number 1 said:
– From now on, you must call me 'Big Brother.'
– Why is that? the others asked.
Number 1 replied:
– Because I was born first.
Upon hearing this, Number 2 spoke up:
– You're the biggest? More like the smallest! I am the biggest!
After Number 2 said that, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 chimed in:
– Hmph, we’re the biggest!
Number 6 snapped:
– No, I’m the biggest!
And so, the numbers all argued, each claiming to be the biggest. After a while, Number 7 spoke up:
– Why don’t we ask Sister Bé?
– Great idea! everyone agreed in unison.
They all marched to Sister Bé’s house. As soon as they arrived, Number 9 shouted:
– Sister Bé, we need your help!
Sister Bé called out:
– What’s the matter, my dear numbers?
– Sister Bé, please tell us, which of us is the biggest and which is the smallest?
Sister Bé thought for a moment, then took out two sets of counting sticks: one with 9 sticks, and the other with 10 sticks. She asked:
– Which set has more sticks?
The numbers answered together:
– The set with 10 sticks has more!
Sister Bé smiled and said:
– That’s right! 10 sticks represent number 10! So 10 is bigger than 9, 9 is bigger than 8, and so on, with 2 being bigger than 1. Do you all understand now?
Immediately, Number 10 shouted:
– I’m the biggest, I’m the biggest!
At that moment, Number 1, feeling a little down, admitted:
– I guess I’m the smallest.
Number 10 comforted Number 1:
– Don’t be sad. Whether we’re big or small, we are all good friends.
– Exactly! they all cheered together.
And so, the numbers went back to playing together happily again.

Without waiting for the alarm clock, the Duckling woke up earlier than usual. Excited for the first day of school, it eagerly awaited for its mother to take it to class. The Duckling loved the idea of going to school so much that it sang all the way there.

The school was located on a large piece of land with a stream flowing through it. On either side of the stream, colorful flowers bloomed beautifully.

The Duckling’s kindergarten class was very fun because there were many friends. As each student arrived, Teacher Hen Mo warmly patted their heads and asked for their names. The Duckling was the first to introduce itself: 'Cạp! Cạp… Hello, teacher, I am Duckling, and I love swimming.' Before it could finish, Green Frog excitedly interrupted: 'Ộp! Ộp… I love swimming too!' Teacher Hen Mo frowned and said: 'Green Frog, you must raise your hand and ask for permission before speaking.' Green Frog realized its mistake and quietly apologized.

Next, friends like Rooster Choai, Brown Dog, and Striped Cat introduced themselves. Rooster Choai crowed: 'Ò... ò... o...', waking everyone up. Brown Dog barked: 'Gâu... gâu...', and was excellent at guarding the house. Striped Cat meowed: 'Meo... meo', scaring away the mice. Green Frog, who also loved swimming, croaked: 'Ộp… Ộp…' The Duckling laughed brightly, feeling proud to have so many friends, each with a unique name and sound.

After the introductions, Teacher Hen Mo led the class in exercises, dancing, singing, and plenty of playtime. She taught the children how to be united, share, help each other, be polite, respectful, and obey adults.

By the end of the day, the Duckling had learned so much and felt like it had grown a lot. As the sun set, Mother Duck came to pick up the Duckling, and on the way home, the Duckling eagerly chattered about its teacher and friends.

The Hedgehog family and the Rabbit family lived next to each other by a small stream. Although the Hedgehog and Rabbit grew up side by side, they never played together. The Hedgehog family thought, 'Rabbits are so delicate, with smooth fur, always nibbling on carrots! They look so annoying!' The Rabbit family thought, 'The Hedgehogs are so rough, covered in sharp spines. Being close to them feels like getting pricked. They look so unfriendly, how can anyone like them!' Despite being neighbors, the two families didn’t like each other at all, and never interacted like normal neighbors. Each family wanted the other to leave, with neither willing to move away. In fact, both families thought the other should go, not realizing the absurdity of staying close if they didn’t like each other.

The Rabbit was always confident, while the Hedgehog felt lonely because no one wanted to play with it. The other animals were too scared of getting pricked by the spines. The Rabbit, on the other hand, was adored by everyone for its soft fur and beautiful eyes. Every day at school, the other animals compared the Rabbit and Hedgehog. Everything about the Rabbit was considered cute and beautiful, while the Hedgehog was ridiculed. The Rabbit even encouraged others to avoid the Hedgehog. The Hedgehog was left isolated, ignored by everyone and feeling like an outcast.

One day, the class planned a field trip to the forest. The Hedgehog was excited but couldn’t find anyone to pair up with. Just as it was about to give up, Lion came over and said, 'Hey, come with me.' This was unusual, as Lion rarely spoke to the Hedgehog. On the way, the Hedgehog realized that Lion had been asking about the Rabbit, hoping to get information since they lived nearby. The Hedgehog reluctantly answered Lion’s questions about the Rabbit’s family.

When they arrived, the other kids were excited to help with the camp setup. The Hedgehog wanted to help too but was only met with laughter as the others picked spines from its back to use as tent pegs. Despite the pain, the Hedgehog thought that the others might finally warm up to it. But as more kids joined in, they pulled more spines, leaving the Hedgehog’s back bruised and bleeding. Even the Ostrich suggested, 'If you don’t have spines tomorrow, you’ll look cuter!'

Meanwhile, Lion was whispering sweet words to the Rabbit, trying to get close. 'Rabbit, you’re so cute! I really like you!' The Rabbit blushed and shyly responded, 'Why are you saying that?' Lion coaxed, 'Are you tired? Do you want some water? Let’s go to the stream and get some.' The Rabbit hesitated but agreed. When they reached the stream, Lion made a subtle comment, 'Rabbit, your fur is so soft and your eyes so big, you’re just adorable! I could eat you up!' Suddenly, the Rabbit realized something was wrong and tried to avoid Lion’s claws, but they still scratched her. She cried in pain.

Back at the camp, the Hedgehog, in pain from the spines being pulled out, stumbled to the stream to drink some water and assess its wounds. Hearing the Rabbit’s cries, it rushed over and found Lion mocking it. 'What are you doing here? Come watch me eat this Rabbit you hate!' Lion sneered. The Hedgehog, exhausted and weak, managed to speak, 'Lion, you should leave! The Rabbit may look delicious, but she’s not worth your time. She’s not even athletic, so don’t bother!' The Hedgehog’s words made Lion pause. Fearing the consequences, especially from his father, Lion quickly left the scene. The Rabbit, barely conscious from blood loss, was comforted by the Hedgehog. With great effort, the Hedgehog tried to help the Rabbit back to safety.

But the Rabbit, horrified by the Hedgehog’s spiny back, initially refused, 'You want me to climb on your spiky back? Are you trying to hurt me?' The Hedgehog, with deep sadness, responded, 'It’s okay. I don’t have many spines left. You can climb on me.' Despite the discomfort, the Rabbit reluctantly climbed on, and the Hedgehog carried her home. On the way, the Rabbit noticed the Hedgehog’s back, now swollen and bruised from the spines being pulled out. The Hedgehog was suffering, but still determined to help.

At the Rabbit’s house, the Rabbit’s parents were furious with the Hedgehog, blaming it for carrying their child with its sharp spines. 'How could you let her get hurt like this!' they scolded. The Hedgehog, silently enduring their anger, returned home, exhausted. The next day, the Hedgehog was sick, feverish from exhaustion, and its parents were heartbroken seeing their child’s wounds. Meanwhile, the Rabbit’s family visited often, but the Hedgehog’s family was ignored. After the Hedgehog recovered, its parents decided to move away quietly, thinking it would help the Hedgehog find happiness.

When the Rabbit’s family noticed the Hedgehog’s house was empty, they didn’t feel the joy they expected. Something felt wrong, but they couldn’t understand why. Life continued, and soon no one mentioned the Hedgehog again. Even Lion, who had grown quiet, spoke little, his mind changed. He told the class how cruelly they had treated the Hedgehog, and how they had all ignored the pain the Hedgehog had endured. In the end, everyone realized how wrong they had been, but it was too late. The Rabbit, guilt-ridden, quietly cried. The story of the Hedgehog faded away, but the guilt in the hearts of those who once mocked it remained.

Floral Cat had a beautiful, long tail. She always took care of it, brushing it regularly. Floral Cat loved it when people noticed her tail and complimented its beauty. One day, Deer said:
- Your tail is really beautiful. I like long tails, but unfortunately, mine is so short.

Floral Cat felt proud and happy. But just as her joy peaked, her mother said:
- Tomorrow, you need to go to school and study with your friends.

Floral Cat thought about the school, filled with many students. She wondered if anyone would compliment her tail. Oh no! What if everyone touched it and it got dirty?

Floral Cat grew anxious. What could she do? After thinking for a while, she said to her mother:
- Mom, my tail is sick today, I don’t think I can go to school tomorrow.

Her mother was sad to hear this, but before she could respond, the nearby Sheep overheard and immediately shouted:
- I’ll fix it for you right away! With that, Sheep grabbed a pair of scissors and approached Floral Cat.

Floral Cat was startled and asked:
- What are you going to do?

Sheep replied:
- The best solution is to cut off that tail.

Floral Cat gasped in horror:
- Oh no! If you cut it off, it will hurt so much. My beautiful tail will be gone forever! It will hurt so much, I’m scared!

In a panic, Floral Cat quickly said:
- No, no! I’ll go to school right away! Mom, I’m going to school!

Her mother, now happy, replied:
- Go ahead and study. You’ll meet many new friends, and you’ll become a great student. You’ll have even more reasons to be proud. I’m so proud of you!

Chicken and Duck both attended Mrs. Mi's class. Chicken always listened carefully to the teacher: when walking, Chicken stayed on the right side and always stopped to greet everyone politely. Duckling, on the other hand, loved to run around excitedly. When it saw someone, it would shout loudly and call out their names without thinking.
One day, while walking, they saw Mr. Goose leading its children to graze by the broad bank. From afar, Duckling yelled loudly, startling the little gosling who almost fell into the water. Mr. Goose, hearing the commotion, called out:
- If you need to ask someone something, come closer and speak softly. Don't shout from afar like that. It's not good behavior!
In class, Mrs. Mi taught them how to sing. All the students praised Chicken for singing perfectly in tune as taught, while Duckling belted out loud, drawing several reminders from the teacher. During playtime, Duckling darted around the room, from the construction corner to the role-play corner, then to the arts corner, shouting in the ears of its classmates and making them jump in surprise. The teacher had to remind Duckling again, but Duckling continued to behave the same way.
One day, they went on a field trip to a toy store. Duckling couldn’t stop commenting loudly, praising some toys and criticizing others. Mrs. Mi had to intervene yet again.
On their way back, Duckling refused to stay with the group and ran about, tripping and falling over. Duckling wailed loudly, crying uncontrollably. Mrs. Mi had no choice but to escort Duckling home. At home, Duckling continued to cry and complain to its mother. After a while, exhausted, Duckling fell asleep.
When Duckling woke up, it found it couldn’t speak. Its mother took it to see Dr. Brown Squirrel, who examined it and said:
- Your voice is hoarse because you shout too much, speak loudly, and cry a lot.
Duckling felt terribly guilty after hearing this. With its hoarse voice, it whispered to itself, "From now on, I won’t do this anymore."
Duckling wanted to make a promise to its mother, but its voice was so hoarse that it could only manage a faint "Quack, quack, quack".

On the first Monday of the week, Mrs. Deer told the older kindergarten class:

- Summer break is almost here, children. This week, anyone who receives a "Good Kid" certificate will receive a special gift from me.

From that day on, all the children worked harder, singing and dancing better, and being more disciplined in class. By Saturday, everyone in the class was eager and excited, as each child hoped to get a gift from the teacher.

After playtime, as the children lined up to return to class, Spotty Dog playfully nudged Furry Bear, causing Furry Bear to knock into Striped Cat. Striped Cat fell hard, scraping its knee and bruising it. In pain, Striped Cat burst into tears.

Mrs. Deer quickly applied some balm to Striped Cat's injury to ease the pain.

At the end of the week’s session, Mrs. Deer praised the class:

- All of you deserve the "Good Kid" certificate and a gift from me.

She then walked around the classroom, handing out the certificates and gifts. There were dolls, stuffed animals, and other fun toys. Some kids received pencils to practice writing, others chocolates and sweets.

When it was Furry Bear's turn, the teacher handed him a shiny red toy car. However, he kept his head down and didn’t reach out to take it. Mrs. Deer gently asked him:

Furry Bear mumbled:

- Teacher, I haven’t been good.

- Tell me why, dear.

- I knocked Striped Cat down.

Mrs. Deer looked at Furry Bear with understanding and said:

- That happened while you were lining up, and you were moving too fast. You didn’t mean to knock your friend down, right?

- Yes, Teacher, it was my fault. I pushed Furry Bear.

Mrs. Deer nodded:

- I understand. Next time, when lining up, be careful not to push or play around. Today, Furry Bear and Spotty Dog still receive their gifts and certificates for being honest and brave enough to admit their mistake.

With that, she gave both of them a beautiful toy car. Surely, this would be one of their favorite toys from the whole school year.

One morning, Mother Hen called to her little chick:

- My dear, wake up and get ready for school!

But Little Chick just shut its eyes tight and grumbled:

- Oh, I'm so sleepy! Let me sleep a little longer!

Mother Hen gently coaxed:

- You must wake up and go to school, dear!

Little Chick mumbled:

- I already know how to write: The letter O is like an egg, right?

Saying this, Little Chick closed its eyes again and fell back asleep.

Every day, Little Chick woke up late, and by the time it got up, the others – Spotty Dog, Gray Duck, and Three-colored Cat – had already gone to school. When Mother Hen went out to gather food, Little Chick would wander off to play, missing class.

One day, Teacher Dreamy Hen organized a camping trip for the whole class. Since Little Chick had skipped school, Gray Duck was tasked with bringing the camp invitation for Little Chick. Little Chick took the paper, flipped it upside down and sideways but couldn’t make sense of it. All it saw were lots of eggs: some had beards, some wore hats, others had long hooks. Little Chick thought: “Oh, it’s just like eggs! What’s the point of learning that?” and tossed the paper aside.

On the day of the camping trip, the whole class waited, but Little Chick didn’t show up. It wasn’t until the sun had fully risen that the class finally set off.

The children set up camp by a clear lake and danced and sang happily. Suddenly, Spotty Dog pricked up its ears, as if it heard someone crying. The whole class rushed to find Little Chick sitting in tears beside a bush. Little Chick had wandered far and gotten lost, unable to find the way home.

Three-colored Cat asked:

- Why are you sitting here alone?

Spotty Dog asked:

- We waited for you! Why didn’t you come to the camp with us?

Little Chick replied:

- Because I... I didn’t know!

Gray Duck immediately spoke up:

- I brought the camp invitation from Teacher Dreamy Hen to you!

Only then did Little Chick remember the paper, but since it didn’t know how to read, it couldn’t understand that it was an invitation for the camping trip.

Little Chick thought, “It’s all my fault for not going to school and learning how to read!” and felt deeply embarrassed. Just then, Teacher Dreamy Hen came over, patted Little Chick on the head, and said:

- If you work hard in school, you’ll learn how to read and write like the others!

Little Chick apologized to the teacher and promised to study hard from then on.

After that, without waiting for Mother Hen to call, Little Chick woke up early every morning to go to school. Little Chick even feared that the others might oversleep, so every morning, it crowed loudly, “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” to wake everyone up.

In Ha's kindergarten class, a new student joined. Her name was Hoa. The whole class whispered and pointed at her left hand.

- That’s strange, really!” Tí Sún whispered to Ha. Ha pretended to go drink water, but secretly glanced over. It was odd indeed. Hoa’s fingers were curled up and very small.

When it was nap time, none of the children wanted to lie next to Hoa. Finally, Tí Sún suggested:

- Let’s play rock-paper-scissors. The loser has to lie next to Hoa!

Ha lost, so Hoa lay at the edge, and then Ha joined her. The rest of the class had fallen asleep, but Ha couldn’t sleep. She peeked at Hoa lying quietly beside her. Hoa’s eyelids fluttered. She wasn’t asleep either. Hoa’s left hand, which had a disability, was tightly hidden in her lap. Tears silently fell onto her soft pillow.

In the afternoon, the teacher led the class in a dance lesson:

- Let’s all raise our hands in front of us!

Hoa looked confused and then began to cry softly:

- Teacher, I can’t dance!

The class looked at Hoa. Hoa suddenly sat down on the floor, hid her left hand in her lap, and burst into tears. Teacher came over and gently embraced Hoa:

- Don’t cry, dear. I care about you!

Then the teacher choked up and said:

- I’ve seen Hoa’s deformed hand, and how she uses it to help her mother with cooking. I believe, this kind of kind hand deserves the love of the whole class! Only lazy hands or dirty hands that aren’t washed are bad and should be laughed at, don’t you agree, children?

Upon hearing the teacher’s words, Ha felt so sorry for Hoa. She remembered the tears that had fallen from Hoa’s eyes earlier. Ha rushed over to Hoa and took her hand:

- I’m Ha!

The teacher smiled:

- Ha, you’re very kind!

One by one, the other children gathered around:

- I’m Dung.

- I’m Phương.

Tí Sún immediately piped up:

- And I’m Tí Sún. Hoa, let’s play the baby-feeding game later!

The teacher nodded:

- That’s the spirit! In this class, you all should love and support one another, like a big family. That will make me very happy.

On a bright, clear morning, the White Rabbit, wearing a new outfit, hopped happily to school. His mother accompanied him to the classroom of Teacher Nightingale.

- Hello, everyone! - White Rabbit said as he jumped around on his feet.

- Hello, White Rabbit! - The whole class chimed in.

Mother Rabbit nodded to the teacher and quickly left the room. But White Rabbit shouted loudly:

- MOM, wait!

Then, he ran to block his mother’s way, spreading his arms wide. Teacher Nightingale came over and gently patted White Rabbit:

- Don’t worry, we’ll go inside together and watch the other kids dance and sing!

She signaled to Mother Rabbit to join them. White Rabbit quickly ran over to choose a seat next to Squirrel Brown and pulled his mother to sit with them.

- Please sit in the back and enjoy watching the children, - Teacher Nightingale said warmly.

The teacher went over to the piano in the corner of the room and started playing music. The children sang happily and danced hand in hand. White Rabbit’s feet tapped to the beat, eager to join the fun, but his legs still weren’t cooperating. Squirrel ran over and invited White Rabbit:

- Come play with us!

Squirrel grabbed White Rabbit’s hand and led him into a circle with the others. White Rabbit hummed quietly and gradually found his rhythm with the group. He felt so happy.

On the second day, White Rabbit nervously peeked into the classroom, searching for Squirrel Brown. When he saw Squirrel tending to a flower pot in the corner, he approached and said:

- Let’s do it together!

The two friends happily took turns as classroom helpers. Suddenly, White Rabbit’s hand flew out, knocking the pot off the shelf, and it shattered on the floor with a loud crash. White Rabbit was terrified and began to cry.

Teacher Nightingale heard the commotion and rushed over, asking:

- What happened? Why is White Rabbit crying?

Squirrel explained:

- He accidentally broke the flower pot, and he’s scared, teacher!

Teacher Nightingale said gently:

- Don’t worry, both of you. Take the broken pot outside and plant the flowers in the garden. I’ll dispose of the broken pot.

The two friends worked together quickly. White Rabbit looked at Squirrel with teary eyes:

- Thank you, my friend!

Later that afternoon, White Rabbit went home and whispered the story to his mother. She said:

- Tomorrow, tell your teacher the secret about what happened.

White Rabbit hesitated:

- I’m too scared, Mom!

Mother Rabbit reassured him:

- You must be brave. Admitting your mistakes will help you feel more confident.

The next morning, White Rabbit arrived at school, looking anxious. He timidly approached Teacher Nightingale:

- Teacher, I broke the flower pot...

Teacher Nightingale looked surprised:

- Oh, so it wasn’t Squirrel Brown who broke it?

White Rabbit cried again:

- It was me, I was so scared!

Teacher Nightingale gave White Rabbit a big hug and said:

- No, you are very brave. And I have a gift for you.

White Rabbit asked:

- A gift for me?

Teacher Nightingale smiled and handed him a square box. She said:

- Go ahead, open it!

White Rabbit fumbled and struggled to open the box. Squirrel Brown came over to help:

- Let me help you!

Squirrel opened the box, and inside was a beautiful flower pot. They both cheered:

- Wow, this is amazing! Let’s plant some seeds and grow flowers, Teacher!

The two friends ran outside to the school garden, hand in hand, ready to tend to the class’s flowers. From that day on, White Rabbit looked forward to school every day, eager to learn and discover new things. He now had wonderful friends and a caring teacher, Teacher Nightingale. White Rabbit had become a very diligent student!
