Chicken Little

Chicken Little likes to walk in the woods. She likes to look at the trees. She likes to
smell the flowers. She likes to listen to the birds singing.

One day while she is walking, an acorn falls from a tree and hits the top of her
little head.

“ My, oh, my, the sky is falling. I must run and tell the lion about it.” says Chicken
Little and begins to run.

She runs and runs. By and by she meets the hen. “ Where are you going?” asks
the hen.

“Oh, Henny Penny, the sky is falling and I am going to the lion to tell him about
it.”

“How do you know it?” asks Henny Penny. “It hit me on the head, so I know it
must be so,” says Chicken Little. “ Let me go with you!” says Henny Penny. “ Run,
run.”

So the two run and run until they meet Ducky Lucky. “ The sky is falling,” says
Henny Penny. “We are going to the lion to tell him about it.”

“How do you know that?” asks Ducky Lucky. “ It hit Chicken Little in the head,”
says Henny Penny.

“May I come with you?” asks Ducky Lucky. “Come,” says Henny Penny. So all
the three of them run on and on until they meet Foxey Loxey.

“Where are you going? Asks Foxey Loxey. “The sky is falling, and we are going to
the lion to tell him about it,” says Ducky Lucky. “Do you know where he
lives?”asks the fox.

“I don’t,” says Chicken Little.

“I don’t,” says Henny Penny.

“I don’t,” says Ducky Lucky.

“I do” says Foxey Loxey. “ Come with me and I can show you the way.”

He walks on and on until he comes to his den. “ Come right in,” says Foxey
Loxey. They all go in, but they never, never come out again.

How to Use the Internet Safely

We spend a lot of time online these days. It’s how we communicate, shop, find
directions, and more. But the internet is a complicated place, and it’s possible
to run into trouble online if you aren’t careful. Since knowing is half the battle,
we’ve got some basic security tips to help keep you safe while you’re online.

1. Use the right type of internet connection

Not all internet connections are the same, and the type of connection you’re
on can have a big impact on your safety and security. There are several
different types of internet connections that you might run into:

3 | Page
● Private Wi-Fi. This network or hotspot requires a password to access it.
● Public Wi-Fi. This network either has no password or the password is posted for
anyone to find.
● Mobile internet. This is the LTE or 5G connection your phone uses. Mobile internet
doesn’t require a password, but it’s more secure than public Wi-Fi because your
data is generally encrypted for safety.
● Satellite internet. Satellite internet uses satellites to send signals, instead of
underground cables or towers. This network is most common in rural areas.

Since anyone can connect to a public network, it’s possible for people to see
what you’re doing online, access your devices, or steal your personal
information. If you’re using a public network, never enter any passwords or other
private information.

2. Always know who you’re talking to

Avoid sharing personal information with strangers. Don’t accept friend requests
from people you don’t know on social media. It’s also a good idea to go
through your friends and followers every once in a while, and remove anyone
you don’t recognize or trust.

Why? The people you’re friends with can see any personal information you
share, like addresses. You don’t want strangers knowing where you’re at. In fact,
it’s a good idea to not post your address or location at all. If you need to share
it, do so in a private message or text.

3. Don’t open anything from a stranger

Knowing what you can trust online is important. One of the oldest internet safety
rules is to never open anything from someone you don’t know. This situation is
one of the most common ways to get infected with a computer virus. This tip
goes for email attachments, links in text messages, and Air Drops from strangers.
To go a step further, set your Air Drop settings to Contacts Only so random
strangers can’t send you things you don’t want.

4. Talk to an adult about anything strange you see on the internet

If you come across anything that makes you uncomfortable or suspicious, don’t
be afraid to quickly leave the web page and share about it with an adult you
trust. You should be open and honest about what you see on the internet, and
asking someone about it won’t get you in trouble.
