A story about Anger
for your 5th Grader.

High up in the Frosted Peaks, the gentle wind tickled Princess Zoombella’s cheeks as she trudged through glittering snowdrifts. She carried her butterfly guidebook close, hoping to glimpse the rare winter butterflies fluttering among sheets of ice. Although the cold nipped at her toes, her heart felt warm with curiosity.

Not far from there, the snowman named Frostyline Fable cheerfully hopped along, searching for hidden trails and secret caves. He was determined to explore every corner of the icy world, convinced that surprising discoveries waited behind each crystal ledge.

Shimmering shards of ice formed a grand archway, each piece reflecting the pale sunlight. The archway was said to hold magical echoes, repeating whispers of the wind as travelers passed beneath.

Princess Zoombella stepped beneath the glossy archway. She hummed a quiet tune, imagining colorful butterflies perched on icicles. In her mind, the frost couldn’t stop them from being free, and she dreamed of one day guiding them to warmer meadows.

Meanwhile, Frostyline Fable scooted along a neighboring ridge. He paused to check different paths with his compass, determined to find the safest route across the frosty wilderness. Each step brought an exciting sense of possibility.

A peculiar set of tracks lay half-buried in soft powder, shaped like wide paw prints. They led in winding patterns across the slope, then vanished where the snow piled high into ridges.

Beyond the hill, a magical wolf lay trapped under the aftermath of a sudden avalanche. Its gleaming fur was tangled in the icy debris, and it whimpered softly, eyes filled with worry. The creature’s proud spirit flickered like a candle behind those startling blue eyes.

Princess Zoombella finally spotted the wolf’s golden glow blinking through the snow. Her breath quickened when she realized it was trapped. She felt a surge of anger at the harsh forces that had buried the poor creature and scowled, stomping her foot in frustration.
