King Cheese

Once, there lived a mouse named King Cheese who ruled the land.
He visited each mouse house to make sure all the mice were well. On
his trips, he forgot to pack food. So he got very hungry. “Oh, I wish
that all I touched would turn to cheese!” he said. A yellow fairy
appeared and said, “Your wish has been granted!” King Cheese
reached for his sword. It turned into cheese. He knocked on a door.
The door turned to cheese. A mouse bit a hole in the door and
stepped out. “Your majesty?” The king shook the mouse’s hand. The
mouse turned to cheese, too. “Help! Help!” cried the king. But
everything he touched turned to cheese. He sat down and cried big,
cheesy tears. “I’m sorry! I will always pack food before a trip!” he
said. At once, cheese turned back into houses and grass and mice.
From that day on, King Cheese always carried a little bag of cheese on
his trips. He never got hungry again.

 The Sharing Man
Once, there lived an old man who had no money. He ate what he
found on the land. He shared his food with the animals and birds
around him. One winter, he sat with his head in his hands. “I can’t
find any food on the land,” he cried. “The mushrooms are gone. The
dandelions and berries are gone. I will starve.” But the Forest Fairy
heard his cry. She spoke to the squirrels and birds. “Your friend needs
your help now,” she said. The squirrels brought nuts from hiding
places in the trees. The birds brought dried berries from hiding places
in the ground. “Here,” they said to the man. “Share our food.” The
foxes curled up to warm the old man’s feet, and the deer nestled
beside him. The man ate the nuts and berries, warm and happy with
