Cactus Cody and the Whirling Winds

A story about Fear

for your 1st Grader.

Show Cactus Cody with his big cowboy hat and boots, looking at the flowers. In the background, a flowing stream sparkles under the bright sky.

Cactus Cody walked across the soft prairie grass. He felt a gentle breeze on his face and smiled at the colorful wildflowers all around.

Show Buzzywhirl holding tiny gears as he buzzes around. In the background, tall grass sways in the wind.

Buzzywhirl, the giant insect, fluttered nearby. He carried small tools to tinker with anything he found interesting.

Show the straw hat alone, with small pebbles scattered beside it. In the background, a gentle stream reflects the sunny sky.

A straw hat rested on a rock near the picnic blanket. Its wide brim was dusty from past adventures.

Show Cactus Cody adjusting a checkered picnic blanket on the grass. In the background, wildflowers bend and dance in the wind.

Cactus Cody spread out the picnic blanket. He felt happy as the breeze blew softly against his cheeks.

Show Buzzywhirl carefully touching a colorful cup with a tool. In the background, grass and flowers create a bright patchwork of greens and yellows.

Buzzywhirl hovered close to the blanket. He inspected the cups and plates, tapping them gently with his curious antennae.

Show the picnic basket alone, with the lunch items slightly visible inside. In the background, low rolling hills curve under fluffy clouds.

An old basket held bread, fruit, and napkins. Its handle was smooth from many tasty picnics.

Show Cactus Cody reaching for flying napkins, looking concerned. In the background, scattered wildflowers wave in the wind.

Cactus Cody felt a sudden gust of wind. The wind blew hard and made him worry. His heart thumped faster as the napkins flew away.

Show Buzzywhirl holding one napkin, wings shining in the sunlight. In the background, rolling plains reach out to the bright horizon.

Buzzywhirl zipped around and caught a flapping napkin. He turned to Cody and said, “Sometimes wind can be wild. It’s okay to be nervous.”
