Story: Holding Hands

Ellie, Guffy, Teddy and Finny were old friends who did everything together. When Finny the fox said he was too scared of the river, Guffy the Giraffe agreed. He said the water was so cold that he never liked bathing. Ellie the Elephant and Teddy the bear disagreed. They said playing with the water was the best thing about their lives. Ellie said splashing water on her mother was too much fun and Teddy the bear said swimming in the river on a hot summer day was so relaxing. As they all grew up, they started exploring new territories. But as Guffy and Finny were scared of the river, they could never explore the world past the limited area they lived in, which made them sad. So Ellie and Teddy made a stone bridge over the river for Guffy and Finny. Ellie the Elephant helped Guffy the giraffe and Teddy the bear helped finny the fox cross the bridge. They were truly amazed by the beauty of the forest that lay beyond the bridge. The friends remained just as considerate and empathetic for the rest of their lives.
