Dans une prairie, au bord d'un lac argenté, Un groupe d'oies s'apprêtait à migrer. Parmi elles, une oie nommée Sagesse, Respectée de tous pour sa grande sagesse. "Mes amies," dit-elle, "notre voyage sera long, Mais ensemble, nous braverons vents et horizons. Chacune aura son rôle à jouer, Pour que notre vol soit couronné de succès." Elles s'envolèrent en formation de V, Sagesse en tête, fendant les nuées. Mais bientôt, fatiguée par l'effort, Elle céda sa place, sans remords. Une autre oie prit la tête du convoi, Pendant que Sagesse se reposait, ma foi. Ainsi, tout au long du périple, Le rôle de leader changeait, simple et flexible. Quand une oie faiblissait ou ralentissait, Deux autres à ses côtés venaient voler. Leur soutien et leurs cris d'encouragement, Aidaient leur compagne à retrouver son élan. Un jour, un jeune jars, curieux, demanda : "Pourquoi ne pas avoir qu'un seul chef qui guidera ?" Sagesse répondit avec un doux sourire : "Le vrai leadership, c'est savoir partager et unir. Chacun a ses forces et ses moments de faiblesse, En alternant les rôles, nous gagnons en vitesse. Le soutien mutuel nous rend plus forts, Et ensemble, nous atteignons les plus beaux ports." Morale : Le leadership n'est pas l'affaire d'un seul, Mais le fruit d'efforts partagés et d'entraide. Comme les oies dans leur vol gracieux, Alternez les rôles, soutenez-vous, soyez solidaires.

Nestled in the lush hills of Hong Kong’s New Territories, Lung Yeuk Tau thrived as a vibrant Hakka village. Each autumn, the villagers gathered for a grand harvest festival at their ancient temple, celebrating their fruitful crops with laughter, music, and traditional dishes. One year, as the festival approached, whispers spread about a mysterious figure seen wandering the hills at dusk. Some claimed it was a protective spirit, while others feared it heralded misfortune. This mix of excitement and anxiety cast a shadow over the festival preparations. Among the villagers was Mei, a spirited young woman known for her bravery. Concerned for her village, she decided to investigate the rumors. One moonlit night, lantern in hand, she ventured into the hills, her heart racing with both fear and determination. At the summit, she encountered an ethereal spirit clad in shimmering armor. The spirit, sensing her courage, warned her of an impending storm that would threaten the village’s harvest. Filled with urgency, Mei rushed back to Lung Yeuk Tau, gathering the villagers at the temple. She shared the warning, urging everyone to prepare. Inspired by her courage, the villagers worked together, securing their homes and crops, realizing their strength lay in unity. As dark clouds rolled in and fierce winds howled, they faced the storm as one, their bonds unbreakable. When dawn broke, the storm had passed, leaving behind a battered but unbroken village. The sun rose over Lung Yeuk Tau, revealing that their homes were mostly intact, thanks to the spirit’s protection. They gathered at the temple, not just to celebrate their harvest but to honor the spirit that had guided them. In the years that followed, the legend of the spirit grew. Each harvest festival, villagers lit an extra lantern in its honor, reminding them of the power of unity and the importance of courage. The spirit of Lung Yeuk Tau lived on, echoing through the hills, a testament to the strength of community.

One day Roman came to school and saw that his best friend had brought a robot to school

Lily loved to play. She loved to jump rope, swing high on the swings, and bounce her ball. One thing Lily did not like to do was run. "It's boring!" she'd groan whenever her mom suggested a jog in the park. "I'd rather stay home and read." One sunny afternoon, Lily was playing in her room. Her favorite pair of bright pink sneakers sat by the door just waiting to be worn. Suddenly, with a mischievous glint in their eyes, the sneakers hopped off the floor and skipped towards the window! Lily gasped. "My shoes! Stop!" she cried, but the sneakers were already out the window and were bouncing down the street. Lily raced after them, her heart pounding. She chased them down the sidewalk and around the corner until she was out of breath. "Come back!" she yelled, her voice echoing through the neighborhood. The sneakers, however, were having the time of their lives. They bounced past beautiful flower gardens, dodged around playful puppies, and they even slid down a hill. Lily, huffing and puffing, finally caught up to her runaway shoes. She scooped them up, feeling a strange tingling sensation in her legs. "You silly shoes! You can’t just run away! I don’t like to run and you made me chase you. You made me feel SO tired!" she said. Her mom, who had been watching from the window, chuckled. "Looks like you're having fun. Can I join you?” she asked. Lily, surprised by how much fun she was having running, decided to keep going and said “yes, let’s go”.
