Once upon a time, there was a little chick who loved ice cream. One day, he was waiting eagerly to get some ice cream. “Ice cream, ice cream! I’ll eat some ice cream,” he chirped excitedly.
While waiting, a stranger approached him. “Hey little friend, I know a really nice ice cream shop. I can take you there,” said the stranger. But the little chick was smart. “I don’t know who you are. I’m not going with you,” he replied.
The stranger tried to convince him by saying, “Come on, I’m a friend of your parents. Don’t you remember that I cuddled you when you were a baby? Hurry up, or the ice cream will be all sold out!”
Meanwhile, the little chick’s brother noticed he was missing. “Oh no, where is he?” he worried. He quickly called Sheriff Labrador for help. “Sheriff Labrador, my little brother is missing. What should I do?”
“Don’t worry, little kid, we’ll be right there,” assured Sheriff Labrador.
Sheriff Labrador arrived and started searching. “That’s my little brother’s toy. He must be around here. Let’s keep searching,” he said.
They saw a man who looked suspicious. “Stop right there!” Sheriff Labrador barked. But it turned out to be a mistake. “What are you talking about? Look, it’s my hat,” the man said.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” apologized Sheriff Labrador.
Then they met Mr. Campbell. “Have you seen a little chick with a chubby face and a plaid cap?” asked Sheriff Labrador.
“Yes, I have. He was with a red fox and went into the forest,” Mr. Campbell replied.
“That’s not good. The red fox might be a kidnapper. We need to find him,” said Sheriff Labrador.
“Woof! Which way do you think it is?” asked Sheriff Labrador. They noticed the ground was muddy and found footprints. “Footprints! Oh, found them! These are red fox and little Chicky’s footprints. They went this way. Let’s go!”
In the forest, the red fox tried to take little Chicky to the shop. “We’re going to fly to the shop,” said the fox.
“I don’t want to eat ice cream anymore. I want to go home,” cried little Chicky.
“No, you can’t go home,” said the fox. But little Chicky was brave and remembered Sheriff Labrador’s safety talk.
Kids, when you go out, don’t wander off alone or take things from strangers. If they say they’ll take you home, you must say no. And if they threaten you, never hesitate to shout and ask other people around you for help. Remember these tips!
Thanks to Sheriff Labrador, little Chicky was safe and learned an important lesson about staying safe.
Role-Playing Safety: Gather your friends or family members and act out different scenarios where you might meet a stranger. Practice saying “no” and asking for help, just like little Chicky did. Discuss how you felt during the role-play and what you learned about staying safe.
Footprint Detective: Go outside and look for different footprints in the mud or sand. Try to guess what animal or person made them. Imagine you are Sheriff Labrador and create a story about where the footprints might lead. Share your story with your class or family.
Safety Poster Creation: Create a colorful poster with safety tips you learned from Sheriff Labrador. Include drawings of little Chicky and the red fox. Display your poster at home or in your classroom to remind everyone about the importance of staying safe.
