The Strange Germ
Bert, the panther, lived under a big maple tree.
He loved the summer, it made him feel super.
But one day, Bert saw a strange germ.
He looked at it. "What could this be?" Bert asked.
He asked his sister, who was older and wiser.
His sister said, "You have nothing to fear. This is part of nature."
Feeling better, Javier chose to take a dip in the river.
He jumped over logs and rocks.
After his swim, Bert felt refreshed and ready for a nap.
He went back under his maple tree, feeling safe and happy.
