Value: responsibility and hard work

Next day Autumn goes to visit her blooming bright Spring in a large emerald green meadow full of trees. The tree leaves are  warm orange and they cling to the branches with the few remaining strengths, but for a little while longer. Quickly they will fall and the tree will hibernate.

Autumn is so happy to meet Spring that begins to tell her a story. 

In the hollow of a dry tree the ant Picaformica lived along with all her sisters. The laborious ants went to gather supplies to great lengths.   Winter would come soon but it wouldn't catch them unprepared!

In the same hollow tree lived Battifiacca, the slacker grasshopper who could only sing.

Battifiacca also used to make fun of Picaformica and said: "Come here and sing with me, there's time to work hard and be responsible!"

Picaformica did not listen to her and in fact when Winter came, as it was to be expected, the grasshopper stayed fast and cold.

Then the grasshopper went to Picaformica to ask for food and hospitality. The ant replied that she had worked hard to face the difficulties of Winter and added: "What did you do during the Spring and the Summer ? ". 

In spite of everything, the ant proved very generous welcoming her into her house and also giving her food.

Finally, Picaformica said to Battifiacca: “Dear friend, remember that life is not only joy and fun but it is also made up of responsibility and hard working. Next time, get busy if you don't want to suffer from hunger and cold”.

Autumn ends her story with this great teaching and Spring is so excited that .......

The wolf goes on a trip through the woods. He is known as a very greedy animal. Most of the animals call him Avarice because of that. He likes to get presents, especially for his birthday. 

But he has never bought a present for anyone in his whole life.

On his way, he is inviting all the animals to his birthday party.

Suddenly, they all go to the big tree. There is a pile of hidden presents and the generous turkey. 

The turkey shows him all those presents. He doesn't understand why they have hidden them. 

They show their generosity even though he is always greedy.

But, they say that they accept him the way he is and that he has to try to change a little bit and not to be so greedy. 

They want to show him how they feel when they don't get a present from him.

                      Rabbit- Bird

Value:         Tolerance

 Deciding to visit Mother Nature, Autumn happily knocks on her door this time. They hug each other and talk about the wonderful stories told by Summer, Winter and Spring.

  Mother Nature says I would like to share with you the story of Speckless. "This is the story of "Speckless" who had to get away from the waters he lived in and his friends and set out to find a new water source with new friends ... 

    While Speckless, wandering around the forest, he notices the bird and the rabbit playing together a little further and approaches them. The bird and rabbit greet the frog with a smile and ask him what he is doing so far from the water. 

    Speckless tells this cute rabbit and the little bird that his friends left him alone because he did not have spots like them, that they mocked him because he was different from them and that he was very sad.

    While the rabbit telling the frog that he should not be sorry for this, she also mentions that she was born without one of her hind legs and therefore had difficulty in moving  freely and even that she could not jump like her friends, so her friends went to find food for her.

    Then the little bird joins the conversation. The bird explains that he should actually fly, but because he was afraid of flying he could not manage and fell as soon as he took off, but that his friends helped him overcome his fear.

    Speckless tells the cute rabbit and the little bird how lucky they are to have such understanding friends. He then leaves, telling that he must continue on his way and that he must find a source of water before it gets dark.

    Speckless does not even notice the stream while he travels sadly and contemplatively with thoughts about the mocking of his own friends and the understanding of the friends of the rabbit and the bird. But the spotted frog at the bottom of the stream both notices the Speckless and the snake approaching him. While the spotted frog trying to distract the snake, Speckless notices the situation and is suddenly startled.

    As the snake moves away, thanks to the spotted frog's move, the Speckless thanks the spotted frog for his goodness. 

    The spotted frog asks how they have not met here before. Speckless also mentions that his friends left him alone because he did not have spots like them, that they did not want him because of his difference and that he set out to find a new home with new friends, and that the road brought him here.

    The spotted frog says that we should tolerate our shortcomings and differences in our emotions, thoughts and appearance. He says that each individual is unique, special and valuable. Then introduces Speckless to his other friends and welcomes him to his home. "
