How the story goes

One small trouble. Three turns.

A peek for grown-ups, so you know where the story is headed before you turn the first page.

  1. A small trouble

    A purple berry pile shines under the big oak, and everyone nibbles as if tomorrow will never come.

  2. A brave choice

    Tarek eats one, counts, and makes two small piles: one for today, one for tomorrow. Val laughs.

  3. A happy turn

    When the long rain empties the pantry, Tarek lifts a broad leaf in the driest corner: his tomorrow-pile, enough for every friend first.

And the moral of the story

“Save a little today, and there’s plenty to share tomorrow.”

Say it together at the last page. It’s short on purpose.

For grown-ups · After the last page
