A story about Fear
for your Kindergartener.

Once upon a time, in a small town near a mysterious forest, lived an adventurous boy named Michael. Michael loved puzzles more than anything else. He loved the thrill of finding solutions and the joy of solving them.

One sunny afternoon, while playing in the forest, Michael stumbled upon an old, crumpled piece of paper. It was a treasure map leading to the Cave of Whispering Shadows.

Michael's heart pounded with excitement, but also fear. The cave was known to be dark and full of unknown things. He was afraid of the dark, and the thought of entering the cave made him shiver.

"I'm scared," Michael confessed to his best friend, who was always there to lend an ear. "It's okay to be scared, Michael," his friend reassured him. "Everyone gets scared sometimes."

With his friend's words in mind, Michael decided to face his fear. He took a deep breath, picked up his flashlight, and stepped into the cave.

Inside the cave, the shadows danced on the walls, creating strange shapes. Michael's heart pounded, but he remembered his love for puzzles and decided to treat this as one.

As he ventured deeper, he encountered a riddle etched on the cave wall. With his love for puzzles, he was excited to solve it. But the riddle was tough, and he couldn't figure it out.

Feeling stuck, Michael decided to share the riddle with his best friend. Together, they pondered over the riddle, and after a while, they figured it out!
