The life of Congressman John Lewis

Once upon a time there was a beetle who loved to tell everyone how fast he could run. “I am the fastest insect in the park,” he would say. His slow and steady friend the snail, tired of hearing him brag, challenged him to a race. “Ha,” the beetle thought to himself, “there is no way a snail could ever win against me.” On the day of the race, all of the insects in the park gathered to watch. The centipede waved a checkered flag to start the race. The beetle zoomed past the starting line as fast as he could, while the snail carefully inched herself forward bit by bit. The beetle cried out “You will never win this race at that slow, slow pace.” Out of breath from running, the beetle eventually reached a small pond of water. He thought, “I have plenty of time. I just will go around the pond.” The beetle sped off on his way. Inch by inch the snail crawled along the path. As she reached the pond, she thought, “It would be much shorter if I could somehow float across the water.” Perhaps I could build a boat. The snail gathered up some leaves, twigs and vine. She fashioned a small boat that helped her glide smoothly across the water of the pond. When she got to the other side, she hopped off the boat and could see all of her friends waiting for her at the finish line. Little by little the snail crept along the path until she crossed the finish line at long last. All of her friends cheered. “Hooray for snail!” they cried. A moment later the beetle came running across the finish line. “I can’t believe you beat me!” he said. “You know,” the snail replied with a smile, “being the fastest isn’t always everything”. “Sometimes if you just slow down for a moment and think about your challenge, you can come up with great solutions.”

One day Niro was in a particularly serious mood and he asked Zo to take him somewhere he could use his brains. And Zo said - I have just the place for you. Let's go to the land of jigsaw puzzles. And off they went. When they arrived, Niro saw multiple puzzle pieces floating by and then suddenly a tall puzzle piece appeared before them. It was King Jiggy of Jigsaw Land. He said - "Welcome to Jigsaw Land. My nephew, Max, is the missing piece in the puzzle. Please help me find him otherwise the puzzle will remain incomplete. " Niro became the detective. He asked King Jiggy - "Where did you last see him?" "I saw him near the sphinx which asks questions, " King Jiggy replied. "The sphinx has the head of a human, body of a lion and wings of an eagle. " Niro and Zo went to the Sphinx, and asked him - "Have you seen Max?" "I will tell you the way to Max if you answer this question - 'What has a head and a tail but no body?'" Zo replied thoughtfully - "Head and a tail? What can it be Niro?" Niro said - "I know! It's a coin!" . The sphinx smiled and lifted its paw to let them inside. It was dark and dingy. They suddenly heard someone laugh loudly. When they looked to the right, they saw a firefly which was glowing in the dark. "Hi! I am Light! Where do you want to go?" "We lost Max, a jigsaw puzzle piece. Have you seen him?" "Yes! He went that way. Let me take you. " As Light went ahead, their way was blocked by a giant frog. He croaked - "I go up and down, but never move. What am I?" Zo wondered and then replied - "A staircase!" "You are right! You may enter!" Then all of them moved ahead and found Max sobbing in a corner. Max had lost his way and Niro gently hugged him. Light guided him outside the sphinx. King Jiggy thanked them for finding Max and completing the puzzle!

Once upon a time, in ancient Greece, there was a powerful and mighty god named Zeus. He was the king of all the gods and ruled over Mount Olympus. But Zeus' journey to becoming the king was full of adventure and bravery. Zeus was the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea. Cronus, his father, was very worried because a prophecy said that one of his children would overthrow him. So, Cronus decided to swallow each of his children as soon as they were born. One by one, they were swallowed, but when Zeus was born, his mother Rhea had a plan. She hid baby Zeus in a cave on the island of Crete and gave Cronus a stone wrapped in a blanket, which he swallowed instead. In the cave, baby Zeus was cared for by nymphs and a magical goat named Amalthea. "I will protect you, Zeus, until you are strong enough to face your father," said Amalthea. Zeus grew up strong and wise, and when he was ready, he decided to free his siblings and challenge Cronus. Zeus made a special potion and tricked Cronus into drinking it. Cronus felt very sick and, to everyone's surprise, he threw up all of Zeus' siblings! They were Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon. "Thank you, Zeus! Now we can help you defeat Cronus!" they exclaimed.
