In the lively town of Sunshine Valley, a group of friends—Ella, Timmy, and Mia—were getting ready for their school's "Healthy Plate Day. Their teacher, Ms. Green, told them, "A balanced plate has foods from the five groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. Ella was excited but confused. “What’s the mystery, Ms. Green?” Ms. Green let them find foods from each group to complete the puzzle!” The friends decided to work together. They went to the town’s Farmer’s Market, where they met Mr. Berry, the fruit seller. “Do you have something sweet and healthy for us, Mr. Berry?” Mia asked. “Of course! Try these juicy apples and oranges. They’re perfect for your fruit group,” said Mr. Berry. Next, they visited Grandma Green’s veggie stand. Timmy picked up a bunch of carrots. “Are these good for our plate?” “Carrots are wonderful! They make your eyes strong,” Grandma Green replied. At the bakery, Ella found whole-grain bread. “This can be for the grain group!” she exclaimed. They walked to the fish stall, where Captain Jack offered them fresh fish. “Protein for strong muscles!” Captain Jack said. Finally, they stopped by Daisy’s Dairy Stand. Daisy handed them a bottle of milk. “Milk is great for your bones and teeth!” she said. Back at school, the friends arranged their plate: apple slices, carrot sticks, a slice of whole-grain bread, grilled fish, and a glass of milk. It looked colorful and delicious! Ms. Green clapped her hands. “Congratulations! You’ve solved the Balanced Plate Mystery. Your plate is a perfect example of healthy eating!” The friends smiled proudly. They learned that eating a balanced meal isn’t just a mystery—it’s the key to having a strong and healthy mind and body! And from that day on, Ella, Timmy, and Mia always made sure their plates were colorful and balanced, just like their big Healthy Plate Day success.

A little girl Miriam, 10 years old, lives with her mom and dad in a little red house in Norway. On Christmas Eve, Miriam went to the neighbors' house to get a Christmas tree star because the old star was broken accidentally by her mother when she was decorating the tree. In the forest Miriam met a funny little barefoot troll named Fjössetrol. Fjössetrol fell from the top of a snowdrift right in front of Miriam. Miriam made Fjössetrol's shoes out of newspaper and glue, because Fjössetrol had very big feet and ordinary shoes did not fit him. Fjössetrol gave Miriam a magic ball on top of the Christmas tree as a thank you. The ball rotated on the top of the tree, shining and shimmering with soft fairy colors.
