DAY 07
                                                               Romeo and Juliet 

Many years ago in Verona, Italy, there were two families.

‘We are the Capulets.’

‘We are the Montagues.’

These families are always fighting. The Montagues have a son, Romeo. The Capulets

have a daughter, Juliet.

One night the Capulets have a party and Romeo goes. He meets Juliet and they fall in

love. Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, sees Romeo and is very angry.

‘He’s a Montague! Get him!’

‘Oh Romeo, why are you a Montague?’

Romeo and Juliet talk and decide to get married.

They know that their families will be very angry so they go to Friar Lawrence and are

married in secret.

The next day, Tybalt sees Romeo. He is still angry with Romeo and wants to fight him.

Romeo doesn’t want to fight but his best friend, Mercutio, does.

‘If you won’t fight him, I will!’

Mercutio fights Tybalt. Tybalt kills Mercutio! Romeo is so upset he fights Tybalt and

kills him too!

The Prince of Verona is very angry and sends Romeo away. Juliet goes to Friar

Lawrence for help.

‘Here is a special drink. You will sleep for two days. Your family will think you are dead

but you will wake up. Then you and Romeo can be free together.’

Friar Lawrence sends Romeo a letter to tell him the plan. But Romeo doesn’t get the

message. He hears that Juliet is dead!

Romeo is so upset he buys some poison and goes to see Juliet.

‘Now I will stay with you forever.’

Too late, Juliet wakes up! She sees what happened.

‘Oh no! You didn’t leave any poison for me but here is your knife.’

Romeo and Juliet are both dead. Friar Lawrence tells the Capulets and Montagues

what happened. They are so sad they agree not to fight any more.

DAY 08
The magic fish Draw to illustrate the story.

Every day, Robert’s grandfather went fishing. One day, Robert

asked to go too.

‘Well, I want to catch the magic fish. The first person to eat it will

become the cleverest person in the world. Can you help me?’

‘Yes!’ said Robert, and they went fishing.

First, they caught a yellow fish with purple spots. ‘Wow! Is that

the magic fish?’ asked Robert.

‘No,’ said his grandfather.

Then they caught a blue fish with red stripes. ‘Is that the magic

fish?’ asked Robert.

‘No,’ said his grandfather.

Suddenly, they caught a big, beautiful silver fish with pink and

green diamonds. Robert’s

grandfather jumped for joy. It was the magic fish! They started to

cook the fish, and his

grandfather went to get some more wood. He asked Robert to

watch the fish, but not to eat

any of it.

Robert watched the fish very carefully. He saw a tiny bubble on

its tail. He touched it with his

finger. Pop! The bubble burst. The fish was very hot and burnt his

finger. Ouch! He put his

finger in his mouth.

When his grandfather came back, he saw that something was

different. ‘Did you touch the

fish?’ asked his grandfather.

‘Yes, I’m sorry,’ said Robert.

His grandfather sighed a happy sigh and gave Robert a big hug.

‘The magic fish chose you.

You are the cleverest boy in the world, and I am the proudest

grandfather ever!’

The lion said, ‘Oh little mouse, I had no hope.

there ever could be!’

Butterfly Draw butterflies of different sizes and

Butterflies are some of the most interesting shapes.

insects on the planet Earth. There are more Paint the butterflies in different colors.

than seventeen thousand different kinds of

butterflies! Butterflies come in all shapes and

sizes.

Butterflies go through four main stages of

life. The first stage is the egg stage followed

by the larva stage. As a larva, or caterpillar,

the future butterfly eats as much as possible.

As it grows, it sheds its outer skin, or

exoskeleton. This may happen four or five

times. After a few weeks, the caterpillar

enters the next stage of its life, the chrysalis

stage. In the chrysalis, the caterpillar will

liquefy into a soup of living cells. Then, it will

reorganize into a butterfly and the

metamorphosis is complete. In later parts of

the chrysalis stage, you can see the forming

butterfly through the chrysalis.

When the butterfly emerges from the

chrysalis, it pumps its wings to send blood

through them so that it can fly. Most

butterflies only live a couple of weeks, just

enough time to drink flower nectar and to

mate. Some, like the Monarch Butterfly,

however, may live many months.

DAY 13
The Rainbow

There was a little girl who loved the rain.

She danced in the drops as they landed on her skin.

She skipped rope in the puddles.

She stretched her arms out and spun around with an open mouth to let the water tickle her

tongue.

One day while the girl was twisting and turning underneath the raindrops, a beautiful rainbow lit

up her path.

She had always heard that there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

She did not see a pot of gold.

She saw light streaks of many colors.

Red.

Blue.

Yellow.

While the girl was looking at the colors of the rainbow, it turned into a bridge.

She began to walk towards the bridge that was all bright and shiny.

She danced across the bridge and disappeared into the red, blue and yellow rays.

In that town, you can hear people talk about the little girl who loved the rain.

You can also hear them talk about a bridge that leads to heaven.

The little girl crossed that bridge, and on a rainy day when the sun peaks through the clouds, you

can see and hear her dancing, swirling, grinning, and laughing.

You can, just look.
