Matahari pagi masih malu-malu menembus celah dedaunan ketika Ana bangun dari tidurnya. Suara napas pelan dan teratur dari anaknya, Bintang, terdengar jelas di kamar kecil yang mereka tinggali. Ana mengelus lembut kepala Bintang yang kini terbaring lemah di atas kasur tipis. Sudah berminggu-minggu Bintang terlihat semakin lemah dan kurus. Tubuhnya yang dulu ceria dan penuh tawa, kini lebih sering terkulai lemas di pangkuan Ana. “Kenapa, Nak? Kenapa kamu harus merasakan ini?” bisik Ana dengan suara bergetar. Hatinya terasa berat setiap kali memandang anak laki-lakinya itu. Ia tak mampu menahan air matanya lagi. Ana tahu, Bintang mengalami gizi buruk. Namun, sebagai seorang ibu yang bekerja serabutan di kota kecil, Ana tidak memiliki cukup uang untuk memberikan makanan bergizi yang layak. Penghasilan dari bekerja sebagai buruh cuci harian hanya cukup untuk membeli beras dan minyak goreng. Ikan, daging, bahkan sayur-mayur segar terasa seperti barang mewah yang sulit dijangkau.

"Lolang the Carabao and the Magic Mango Tree" In a quiet village surrounded by emerald rice paddies and gentle hills, there lived a kind-hearted carabao named Lolang. Lolang was a strong and dependable carabao, always helping the villagers with their plowing and other tasks. Her gentle eyes and calm demeanor made her a favorite among the children, who loved to ride on her back. One sunny day, as Lolang was grazing near the edge of the village, she noticed a beautiful mango tree that she had never seen before. Its branches were laden with golden, ripe mangoes that glowed in the sunlight. Intrigued, Lola wandered closer to the tree and was surprised to hear a soft, melodious voice. "Hello, dear carabao," the voice said. "I am the spirit of the Magic Mango Tree. These mangoes have special powers, but only those with a pure heart can take them." Lolang's eyes widened in wonder. "Magic mangoes? What do they do?" The tree spirit replied, "Each mango grants a special wish. However, the wishes must be used to bring joy and harmony to others." Lolang thought about the villagers and their hardworking lives. She knew she could use the magic mangoes to help them. With the tree spirit's permission, she gently picked three mangoes and carried them back to the village.

a boy named George. he loved drawing the stars on his notebook, and listening to his grandma’s stories. one day, everything changed—his grandma, who always smelled of lavender and gave the warmest hugs, passed away. At first, George didn’t understand. She had always been there. How could she just be… gone? Sometimes, he felt sad, and other times, he felt angry—angry that she left, angry that no one could fix it. He wanted to talk to her, but she wasn’t there. And worst of all, some days he felt okay, and that made him feel guilty. At school, things were different too. Gorges's best friend, Mia, didn’t know what to say, so she said nothing at all. His teacher, Mr. Potter, noticed that George didn’t want to play as much, and sometimes, he just stared at his notebook, drawing nothing. One day, Mr. Potter sat beside George during lunch. “I lost my grandfather when I was your age,” he said gently. “It hurt a lot. I missed him every day. But then I found a way to keep him close.” George looked up. “How?” “By remembering,” Mr. Potter said. “By talking about him, writing about him, even drawing pictures. And I let myself feel however I needed to feel.” George thought about that. That night, he picked up his notebook and drew a picture of his grandma, with her warm smile and twinkling eyes. He wrote down his favorite story she used to tell him. And when he missed her, he whispered to the stars, just like she had told him to do .things started to change. Some days were still hard. Some days, he felt okay. But he learned that it was alright to feel both. At school, he told Mia about his grandma, and she listened. At home, he made a memory box with his mum, filling it with lavender sachets, old photographs, and little notes. And every night, when George looked up at the sky, he remembered that the people we love never really leave us—they just whisper from the stars.

Once upon a time, there were two children named Audrey and Daniel. Their dad loved fishing more than anything! One sunny day, Dad packed up his fishing gear and took Audrey, Daniel, and their Jack Russell terrier, Butch, down to the creek for a day of fishing fun. Butch, of course, was excited for a swim. Dad helped Audrey and Daniel set up their fishing lines. First, Audrey caught a small carp! She was so excited, she jumped up and down. Then, Dad hooked the biggest fish Audrey and Daniel had ever seen – a huge cod! He shouted to Daniel, "Grab the net!" The 4kg cod was a monster! "Fish and chips tonight!" Audrey exclaimed. Poor Daniel! The fish kept stealing the bait right off his hook. Hours passed, and Dad and Audrey caught lots of fish. They started to pack up, but Daniel was determined. "Even if I have to stay all night," he declared, "I'm going to catch a fish!" Just then, Daniel's line started to zip! "Get it! Get it!" Dad yelled. Daniel pulled and pulled, and up came a beautiful barramundi – almost bigger than Daniel himself! He had caught the biggest fish of the day! Dad was super proud of Audrey and Daniel. They were fishing masters! They went home smelling strongly of fish. "You better go clean up!" Mum said, "I'm not letting those stinky fish monsters back in the house!" After a good scrub, it was time for dinner. Dad cooked the delicious fish on the barbie, and told them stories of his amazing fishing adventures. He promised their next trip would be on a boat! Audrey and Daniel couldn't wait for their next big fishing adventure with their dad.
