A story about Death
for your Kindergartener.

Once upon a time, in a cozy old house, lived an adventurous boy named Michael. He loved puzzles and mysteries. One day, he received a special puzzle box from his beloved Grandpa who had recently passed away.

Michael missed his Grandpa dearly. They used to solve puzzles together. Holding the box, he felt a mix of sadness and curiosity. He decided to solve the puzzle, hoping it would make him feel closer to Grandpa.

As he solved the first layer of the puzzle, a small note fell out. It read, 'Remember the time we built that treehouse?' Michael smiled, remembering the fun they had hammering and painting.

The second layer was trickier. But Michael remembered Grandpa's advice, 'Patience is the key to solving any puzzle.' He took a deep breath and tried again.

Finally, he solved it! Another note fell out, 'Remember our fishing trips?' Michael laughed, recalling how Grandpa would always fall asleep, and the fish would nibble at their bait.

The third layer was even more challenging. Michael felt frustrated. But then he remembered Grandpa saying, 'Every problem has a solution. You just need to find it.'

With renewed determination, Michael solved the third layer. The note read, 'Remember our secret handshake?' Michael performed the handshake, feeling a sense of connection with Grandpa.

The final layer was the hardest. Michael felt like giving up. But he remembered Grandpa's words, 'Giving up is the only sure way to fail.' So, he kept trying.
