To all the little kids who are inspired to read and become better people.

In the happy town of Starlight Village, there was a curious and kind boy named Kai. Kai loved exploring and always had a big smile on his face. Kai was full of wonder and love for everyone he met. He loved exploring and venturing out of the village.

Kai's village was like one big family. They worked side by side, sharing their happy and sad feelings. But Kai noticed and felt like something was not quite right. 

"Folks in my village seem down and always seem to be arguing." 

Kai said, feeling quite sad.

The once peaceful village turned into a village that was always unhappy and always fighting.

"I need to stand up and help my people and my village so we can all live happily and in peace again," Kai said.

Angry Villagers Arguing

Why is this happening?

One sunny day, Kai went to see Uncle Anson, an old and wise man. He found him sitting under a big maple tree. Kai stood next to him and asked.

 "Uncle Anson, why aren't the villagers happy anymore? "How can I help?" Kai said.

Uncle Anson smiled and said,.

"To make everyone happy again, you need to go around the village and find a way."

Help me, Uncle Anson!!!

Go explore and see what you can find.

After hearing and listening to Uncle Anson's advice, Kai decided to pack a small backpack with all the essentials, a journal, a map, and his favorite snacks. Then, he set out on a journey to find help, eager to discover ways to make his village happy again and save it from being unhappy.

Have love and forgivness for others

Oh, I get it now

As Kai journeyed, he traveled to distant lands and encountered a wise teacher who shared his wisdom with him. His first stop brought him to a Christian church.

 "Where am I?" Kai said.

 "This is a church," a man replied, "Here, you can learn all

 about Christianity. We believe that if you have love and forgiveness for others, you will be happy" (HISTORY.COM).

Yes, It will help you

Will this help save my village?

"You must show love towards everyone, even if they may have hurt us in

 the past,"(Denova).

"So by showing love and forgiveness to others, I would be able to heal the

wounds that had caused troubles in my village, right?" Kai asked again.

 "Yes," The Pastor replied, "Now keep on going with your journey, young

 one."

I shall teach you the ways of Confucianism!

Continuing His journey, Kai traveled to the East and encountered an

 old man who taught Confucianism, an old Chinese belief that many

people in East Asia believe in.

Kai met a kind Confucian teacher who told him, 

"I will teach you about Confucianism. Remember, respect and peace in relationships with one another are two of the most important things to be happy" (Weiming).

Thank you for teaching me the ways of Confucianism.

No Problem.

"Confucius, an old, wise Chinese teacher, and my teacher as well, taught me to treat others with respect."

 "Oh! I see," Kai said.

 "Не also said to listen to their opinions, and understand their point of view, and by doing this, people will be happy," the student also told Kai (Berling).

"So by doing so, I could help make my village happy and peaceful as well!" Kai shouted, "Thank you!".

Kai realized that respect and understanding were important

 ingredients for building a loving and peaceful village.

I am a Taoist, and I can teach you my ways of Taoism!!

Who are you?
