Emilka and the Land of Donuts Once upon a time, in the magical Land of Donuts, every day was sweet, but the sweetest of all was Fat Thursday. On this special day, donuts of all shapes and sizes danced in the streets, filling the air with the scent of sugar and frosting. But this year, something was wrong – the flavors were disappearing! Emma, a curious 6-year-old with a big imagination, stumbled into the Land of Donuts while chasing a butterfly. She met Mr. Sprinkle, the king of the donuts, who was in despair. “If we don’t bring back the flavors, Fat Thursday will be ruined!” he cried. Determined to help, Emma set off on an adventure to find the lost flavors. Along the way, she befriended Choco, a chocolate-filled donut who had lost his sweetness, and Berry, a jelly donut who was feeling empty inside. Together, they traveled through the Cotton Candy Clouds and crossed the River of Glaze. Emma’s clever idea was to mix unexpected ingredients – like lemon zest with chocolate or mint with raspberry. With a sprinkle of magic and a lot of imagination, the flavors returned, more delicious than ever before. Fat Thursday was saved, and the donuts danced with joy. Mr. Sprinkle crowned Emma the Honorary Donut Chef, and she promised to visit every year to invent new, magical flavors. From that day on, Emma was known as the girl who saved Fat Thursday, and the Land of Donuts was sweeter than ever before.

A little boy, Timmy, tumbled and scraped his knee! Elara, super-helpful Elara, got out her sparkly hair clip (it was also a tiny first-aid kit!) and helped Timmy all better. Timmy, so happy, gave Elara a bouncy, red ball! "What will I do with a bouncy ball?" Elara giggled. Further up, a fluffy bunny, Barnaby, was stuck in a prickly bush! Elara carefully freed Barnaby, and Barnaby hopped away, leaving behind a shiny, smooth pebble! "A pebble? For what?" wondered Elara. Near the top, a tiny bird, Pip, had lost its nest! Elara found some soft leaves and helped Pip build a cozy new home. Pip chirped happily and dropped a bright yellow feather! "A feather? Why?" Elara chuckled. Finally, Elara reached the top of Mount Gigglepuff! But oh no! She'd forgotten her juice box, her yummy sandwich, and her silly hat! She was SO sad. Then, she remembered the gifts! The bouncy ball became a super fun bouncy seat! The smooth pebble was perfect for skipping across the mountaintop! And the bright yellow feather? It made a super-duper sparkly hat! Elara ate her apple, feeling very happy. She learned that helping others was the best adventure of all, and sometimes, the best things come in unexpected packages – like a bouncy ball, a pebble, and a feather!

Сказка про АБВГДейку и английский алфавит В чудесном лесу, где радость и смех царили повсюду, жил-был маленький зверенок по имени АБВГДейка. Он был живым алфавитом и каждый день отправлялся в увлекательные приключения с друзьями — буквами английского алфавита: A, B, C и другими. Однажды АБВГДейка и его друзья решили устроить праздник в честь английского алфавита. Каждый планировал подготовить что-то особенное. Буква A с радостью сказала: «Я принесу много интересных слов, например, apple (яблоко) и ant (муравей)!» «А я предложу веселые слова на букву B!» — добавила Буква B. «Например, balloon (шарик) и bear (медведь)!» «Не забывайте про меня!» — воскликнула Буква C: «Я расскажу про cat (кот) и cake (торт)!» Буквы начали собираться на полянке. Вскоре зазвучали замечательные слова, и все стали делиться своими идеями и даже разучили танцы на буквы. Однако одна буква, Z, стояла в стороне и выглядела грустной. АБВГДейка заметил её и подошёл. «Зета, почему ты не играешь с нами?» — спросил он. «Я не знаю, какие слова я могу принести», — ответила буква Z. «Но ты — звезда, Зета! Все любят слова с твоей буквы, например, zebra (зебра) и zigzag (зигзаг)!» — сказал AБВГДейка и взял Зету за лапку. Вместе они присоединились к остальным. Теперь Зета смеяла и танцевала. Весь лес наполнился весельем. Буквы пели песни, играли в игры и готовили пирог, на котором каждое слово начиналось с её буквы. Когда вечер подошёл к концу, АБВГДейка собрал всех: «Спасибо, что пришли на наш праздник! Каждая буква важна, и без вас его не было бы!» И с тех пор в лесу ежегодно отмечали Великий Праздник Алфавита, где все буквы танцевали, пели и делились своими замечательными словами.

You just have to keep wiggling it. “But what if it hurts?” Imoni asked, her voice trembling a little. Arthur sat down beside her and pulled her close. “Sometimes things that seem scary aren’t so bad when we trust the people who love us. Don’t worry. When the time is right, we’ll take care of it together.”  “Daddy, my tooth feels so loose now!” Arthur looked at her and said, “I think it’s time to  help that tooth come out. Can you get me a piece of string from the drawer?” Imoni’s eyes grew wide. “String? What for?” “We’ll tie it to your tooth and give it a quick pull.” Arthur explained gently. Imoni hesitated. “But what if it hurts, Daddy?  Arthur knelt down to her level. “I know you’re scared, sweetheart. But trust me, I’ll be gentle, and it’ll only take a second. You’re so brave, and I’ll be right here with you.” Imoni looked into her daddy’s kind eyes. She took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, Daddy. I trust you.” Arthur carefully tied the string around Imoni’s loose tooth. “Ready, sweetheart?” he asked. Imoni squeezed her eyes shut and held her daddy’s hand. “Ready,” she whispered. “On the count of three,” Arthur said. “One… two…” Before he got to three, he gave a quick tug, and the tooth popped right out! Imoni opened her eyes. “Wait… is it out?” Arthur held up the tiny tooth. “It’s out! You did it, Imoni!” Imoni touched the gap in her mouth and smiled. “It didn’t even hurt!” she said, giggling. “I told you,” Arthur said, hugging her. “Sometimes, trusting someone makes all the difference. "That night, Imoni placed her tiny tooth under her pillow and climbed into bed. She felt proud and brave. Arthur kissed her forehead. “Goodnight, my brave girl. I’m so proud of you.”
