Once upon a time, there was an old woman who lived in a very big shoe. Can you imagine living in a shoe? It must have been a very special shoe to fit everyone inside!
This old woman had lots and lots of children. There were so many that sometimes she didn’t know what to do! But she loved them all very much.
Every day, the old woman made sure her children had something yummy to eat. She gave them tasty jam to spread on their bread. Jam is sweet and sticky, and it makes bread taste even better!
After they ate, it was time for bed. The old woman gave each child a big, warm kiss. Kisses help us feel loved and safe, don’t they?
Once everyone had their kiss, the children snuggled up in their cozy beds inside the shoe. They felt happy and loved as they drifted off to sleep.
This story teaches us about love and care. The old woman took care of her children by feeding them and giving them kisses. It’s important to show love to the people we care about, just like she did!
