In this lesson, you will learn how to stay safe by understanding the importance of being careful around strangers. You will discover why it’s important to never go with someone you don’t know and to always ask for help if you feel scared or lost. You will also practice sharing and playing nicely with friends, just like the child did with the little fox and rabbit. By the end of our adventure, you’ll know how to keep yourself safe and make good choices when meeting new people!
One sunny day, a child was walking around and saw something delicious. “It looks so yummy!” the child said. But then, the child noticed a little fox all alone. “No, no, little fox! Why are you here by yourself?” the child wondered.
Nearby, a police officer was watching. “Thank you. Bye!” said the officer as they walked away. The child thought it was a bit strange and decided to follow the little fox to see what was going on.
As they walked, the child said, “Oh no, where did they go? Let’s go that way!” They almost got caught by the police but kept going. “Stop nagging! We need to find a child today,” the child said to themselves.
At the donut shop, a vendor said, “Two donuts, please. Oh, sorry, they were just sold out.” The child was a bit sad. “Mommy, I want a donut!” the child said. But then, they found a donut and said, “Wow, it’s so yummy!”
The child shared a donut with a little rabbit. “Sweetie, give one to little rabbit. Here you are!” they said. The little fox was happy and said, “Little fox, you’re so sweet! Oh, you have such big ears!”
Then, the child invited the little rabbit to play. “Little rabbit, let’s play together! Where’s the button? Ah, there it is! Be careful, don’t go too far; I’ll miss you!”
Suddenly, the child’s parent was worried. “My child is missing! Please help me find her!” they said to the police officer. The officer asked, “Where did you last see her?”
The parent replied, “In front of the donut shop. She went with little fox to play with a toy car while I was chatting with Miss Fox.” But Miss Fox was missing too!
The police officer thought the strange fox mom and son might have taken the little rabbit. “Oh no, I think they might have taken little rabbit!” the officer said.
They followed the tire marks of the toy car. “Let’s go!” said the child. The little fox and the child were in a new place. “Little fox, where are we now? I want to go back!” the child said.
But then, the police arrived. “Leave her alone!” they said. “Oh no, it’s the police! Don’t worry, you’re safe now!”
After the adventure, Sheriff Labrador had some important advice. “Kids, you should beware of strangers. Even if it’s a kid, always be careful of who you meet. Never take anything they give you and never go with them, because they could be with other kidnappers. Please remember that!”
And with that, everyone learned a valuable lesson about staying safe and being careful around strangers.
Role-Playing Adventure: Gather your friends or family and act out the story of the little fox and the child. Take turns playing different characters like the child, the little fox, the police officer, and the donut vendor. Think about how each character feels and what they might say. This will help you understand the story better and have fun imagining different parts of the adventure!
Safety Detective: Go on a “Safety Detective” walk with an adult around your neighborhood or school. Look for things that help keep you safe, like crosswalks, stop signs, or friendly police officers. Talk about why these things are important and how they help us stay safe, just like the advice from Sheriff Labrador in the story.
Draw and Share: Draw a picture of your favorite part of the adventure with the little fox and friends. Use lots of colors and details to show what happened. Then, share your drawing with a friend or family member and explain why you chose that scene. Ask them what their favorite part of the story was and why.
