Greedy Lion, Silly Villagers & Very Smart Kids!

0:00Baby bus! Hello wonderful storytellers! Welcome back to our super story shout out, where we listen to your clever ideas, funny thoughts and amazing story thinking. Today we have two stories, one about a very proud lion who got tricked and another about some very, very silly people. First, let's talk about the story, the jackal and the lion. We asked, if you were the lion, how would you feel after being tricked? What would you do? And wow, many of you said the lion would be very angry. Honestly, that makes sense. If I were a lion and someone tricked me, I would probably roar so loudly the whole jungle would hear it. Fiona said she would be a little annoyed, but she would laugh with the jackal and mouse, and she also said she would not be as greedy and mean as the lion.

1:02That is a very wise answer, because sometimes the reason we get tricked is not because others are too clever, but because we are too greedy. Summer from the Philippines said she would be annoyed, but she would try to be smarter and clever so she would not get tricked again. That is a great attitude. Which is be angry, learn and become smarter. Then, Ola, Suelling Go, and Mia Mia all said they would be very angry and would never trust the jackal again or would not listen to the jackal anymore. That is actually a very important lesson. If someone tricks you once, next time you should think very carefully before believing them again. Then Devi and Gita had a very interesting plan. Devi said if they were the lion, they would tell the monkey about the trick and let the monkey try it instead so the lion could be free. That is actually very clever. Devi turned the problem into a teamwork solution.

2:02So from all your answers, we learned something very important. If you get tricked, you can be angry, but it is even more important to learn, be smarter next time and maybe don't be greedy. Now let's move to our second story, The Three Silly's. We asked who do you think was the silliest person in the story? Why? And I noticed something very funny. Many of you chose the villagers trying to get the moon out of the pond. Mia Mia, Summer A, Merlin Teo and Laka all said the villagers were the silliest because the moon in the pond was just a reflection and they could just look up and see the real moon in the sky. And some of you even said something very funny. If they tried to save the moon at night, then in the daytime they would try to save the sun and then at night again the moon and then the sun again and they would never sleep again. Silly villagers working 24 hours saving the sun and moon.

3:05Anne. She chose a different silly person, the lady with the cow who tried to lift the cow up to eat grass instead of just throwing the grass down. That is also very silly. Sometimes people choose the hardest way to do something when there is a very easy way right in front of them. So this story teaches us a very important lesson. Being silly is not about making mistakes. Being silly is when the easy answer is right there and you still choose the hardest, strangest way to solve the problem. Thank you to Fyoma, Summer, Ola, Swell and Go, Mia Mia, Devi and Guida, Anne.Hong, Merlin Teo, Laka and Summer A for your fantastic answers. You are all wonderful thinkers, clever problem solvers and very funny storytellers. And remember everyone, don't be a greedy lion, don't be a silly villager, be a smart thinker and a kind friend.
