A Fun Night Out

It was a lovely evening, and the weather was just perfect. Two friends were excited because they were going to a concert together. One friend said, “I’m so glad you invited me!” and the other replied, “I’m so glad you accepted!”

Oh No, Where Are the Tickets?

As they arrived at the concert hall, one friend suddenly realized, “Oh no, not the tickets! Where did I put them?” The other friend asked, “Did you leave them at your place?” They both thought for a moment and decided it was okay to go back and get them. Luckily, they found the tickets just in time!

Finding Their Seats

With tickets in hand, they entered the concert hall. “Where are our seats?” one friend asked. “They are in section five, row ten,” the other replied. They walked through the hall, found their row, and sat down. “This is fun!” one friend exclaimed, and the other agreed, “Yeah, I’m having a great time.”

A Surprising Smell

Suddenly, one of them noticed a strange smell. “What’s that smell?” they wondered. “Uh, I don’t know,” the other replied. They soon realized it was the smell of beans, and it was quite strong! “How embarrassing!” one friend said. They decided to move to another spot, hoping the smell would go away.

A Skunk in the Building!

As they moved, the smell got even worse. “That’s strange,” they thought. They noticed people were leaving the concert. “Wow, they’re stopping the show,” one friend said. Then they heard someone say, “A skunk is in the building!” A real skunk had sneaked in!

What to Do Next?

Even though the concert was interrupted, the friends were not upset. “Oh no, that’s too bad. I was really enjoying the concert,” one friend said. The other replied, “It’s not your fault. It is still early. What would you like to do?”

And so, their adventure continued. What do you think they did next? Maybe they went for ice cream or played at the park. The fun was just beginning!

Learning Moment

Did you know that skunks are animals that can spray a smelly liquid when they feel scared? It’s their way of protecting themselves. Next time you see a skunk, remember to give it space so it doesn’t feel frightened!

  • Have you ever been to a concert or a big event? What was your favorite part about it, and did anything surprising happen?
  • If you were one of the friends in the story, what would you have done after the concert was interrupted by the skunk? Can you think of a fun activity to do together?
  • Why do you think skunks spray a smelly liquid when they are scared? Can you think of other animals that have special ways to protect themselves?
  1. Skunk Safety Poster: Create a poster about skunks and how to stay safe around them. Use colorful drawings and simple words to show what a skunk looks like and what to do if you see one. Share your poster with your family or classmates to teach them about skunk safety.

  2. Role-Playing Adventure: With a friend or family member, act out the story of the two friends at the concert. Take turns being the friends and the skunk. Think about how the friends felt when they realized there was a skunk in the building. How did they solve the problem? What would you do if you were in their shoes?

  3. Nature Walk Observation: Go on a nature walk with an adult and try to spot different animals. Make a list of the animals you see and write down one interesting fact about each one. If you see a skunk, remember to observe from a distance. Discuss with your adult how each animal protects itself, just like the skunk does with its spray.
