Childhood Story

Everyone has a favourite story that they heard when they were younger. Maybe it’s still your favourite story! What makes this story your favourite? Your task is to use your imagination to recreate this story by giving it a twist while keeping the moral the same. You might want to consider changing the setting, characters, etc. Once you have finished, orally retell the story to someone in your home.
