A Big Shake

Leo's movement accidentally scares the tiny insects.

Leo lifted his big foot to say hello. BOOM! The ground shook. The tiny ants and ladybugs ran away quickly, hiding in the tall grass. Leo felt sad. "Oh no! I didn't mean to scare them," he said softly.

A Soft Landing

Leo finds a gentle way to invite his tiny friends to play.

Leo sat down very carefully. He thought, "How can I play gently?" He saw a big, soft flower petal. He picked it up with two fingers, very slowly. Then he gently placed the petal on the grass. "This can be a soft slide!" he thought.

Playing Together

Leo and the tiny insects play happily and gently together.

The little insects peeked out. They saw the soft petal and Leo's kind smile. Slowly, they crawled onto the petal. Wee! It was a fun, soft slide. Leo giggled. Everyone played together, happy and gentle. Leo learned to play gently with tiny friends.

Moral of the Story
We can all play together happily when we are gentle and kind, no matter how big or small we are.
