What will our friends do next year, when they celebrate the summer solstice again? Use your imagination and write a sequel to the story you’ve just read.

Before you throw yourself into the creation of your story, answer these five questions. They may help you compose your sequel.

1. Name the characters in the story.

2. What day are the animals celebrating?

3. Why is this the most important day of the year?

4. Are the animals the only creatures to celebrate this day? Who else is having a celebration?

5. What do the animals learn about people? What do we celebrate on this day?

Now make up a sequel to this story. Imagine what will happen the following year. Will any new people or animals join in the celebration?
