Whiskers the Cat stretched languidly. Today was his birthday! He awoke extra early, hoping for a surprise. But the kitchen was quiet. Mama Cat was busy humming a tuneless song, and Papa Cat was already snoring softly by the fireplace. Little sister, Pip, was engrossed in a game of peek-a-boo with her favorite stuffed mouse. Whiskers sighed. He ate his breakfast alone, a bowl of slightly burnt salmon. At school, his friends greeted him with their usual cheerful hellos, but no birthday wishes. Even his teacher, Mrs. Whiskers, seemed preoccupied with lesson plans. Whiskers felt a little pang of disappointment. It wasn't the birthday celebration he'd imagined. He trudged home, his little cat heart a bit heavy. He opened the door, expecting the same quiet house. Instead… A roar of "Surprise!" erupted! His friends and family jumped out from behind the furniture, all holding a giant, tuna-flavored cake decorated with sparkling candles and tiny gummy fish. Mama Cat, Papa Cat, and Pip were beaming, and even Mrs. Whiskers peeked in from the doorway, waving a small gift bag. Whiskers's eyes widened. "You remembered!" he whispered, his voice choked with happy tears. Mama Cat chuckled. "Of course, we remembered, sleepyhead! We just wanted to make it a really special surprise. We planned this all along!" Papa Cat winked. "We even managed to keep it a secret from your little sister—that was the hardest part!" That night, surrounded by the warmth of his family and friends, Whiskers blew out his candles, making a wish for lots more secret surprises and many more happy birthdays. It turned out to be the best surprise birthday ever!

In a forest, there was a village inhabited by many animals that worked together. In the village lived a diligent tortoise named “Kiki,” who always helped his parents' work, whether by selling vegetables or helping to pick vegetables in the fields. He had been so active until one day, he got bored of his routine, and got blue feelings at the same time because of the Cici's swear. “If I was you, I'd rather swap bodies with me so I can fly and take to the skies!” cursed the raven who didn't know the origin of its name. He was very sad when he remembered that he could not see the beauty of the world, the beautiful colors, or the sky that people said was blue, because Kiki had been blind since he had been a baby. When he tried to tell his friend Lulu, Lulu took Michii to see Kiki’s mother and asked for permission to go to the next village festival the following day. The next day, Kiki was still feeling sad, but he was surprised and happy when Lulu took him to enjoy lots of delicious snacks at other village’s festival. Kiki was happy. Kiki said that the world was beautiful and that they had to move forward with their hopes, such as the hope of being able to try other delicious snack variants in the future.

In a quiet village near a dense forest, two best friends, Siraj and Junaid, lived for adventure. When a monster blocked the river, threatening the village's crops, the two decided to help. Armed with a wooden sword and a slingshot, they ventured into the dark forest. As they journeyed, they found a trapped squirrel and freed it. Grateful, the squirrel dropped a shiny acorn, which Siraj pocketed. Soon, they reached the monster’s cave. The enormous, scaly creature roared, “Who dares disturb me?” “We are Siraj and Junaid,” Siraj said bravely. “You’re hurting our village. Leave!” The monster laughed. “Solve my riddles, or be my dinner!” The first riddle was: “I am not alive, yet I grow. I don’t have lungs, yet I need air. What am I?” Siraj quickly answered, “Fire.” The second riddle: “The more of me you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?” Siraj replied, “Footsteps.” Angry, the monster gave the final riddle: “What has roots no one sees, is taller than trees, and never grows?” Junaid shouted, “A mountain!” The monster roared. “You win the riddles, but now you must fight!” It charged, claws swiping. Junaid dodged and struck with his wooden sword, distracting it. Siraj loaded the shiny acorn into his slingshot and aimed for its glowing eye. The shot hit, and the acorn sprouted into a magical tree, binding the monster. “Fine!” it roared. “I’ll leave your village!” With the monster gone, the river flowed again, and the villagers celebrated their young heroes. From that day on, Siraj and Junaid were known as the bravest friends in the land.
