Cover & Title Page Title page: The Magnificent Village

Teaser: as I was taking a walk with my dad one fine day, he told me stories and tales about the village we were living in. I had not realized that this village was so amazing and full of many surprises. Want to know what these surprises are? Go read the book!On one fine day, my dad and I went out for a walk through the village.

We were walking past this tree when I asked him a question.

-Dad, can you tell a story about our village?-Sure son

Here, we produce all our own food because we have these farm animals to rely on as a food source.

Look son!

We also have hunters to hunt through far lands in case our farm animals can't fulfil our needs just yet.

Isn’t our village amazing?

We also have plenty of trees to rest under, so the sun won't hurt us

-Dad I’m thirsty from all this walking

-Come down here by the river. I have a jug that you can drink out of

Come down here, and fill up the jug with the river water.

Did you know? This river water flow is channeled right from our mountain tops. So this is as fresh as the water could get!

In this village, we usually go to sleep at the same time. When it’s around 9 p.m, we automatically feel sleepy and immediately go to sleep together.

I usually sleep under my favorite tree. Just right by the farm animals. I don’t know, it has been a habit of mine since I was just a child like you, my son. I just feel calm when I know I’m sleeping next to them.

See son, maybe someday you’ll get what I mean by feeling calm next to these animals.

At night, we can relax as much as we want and sleep peacefully because the sky is beautiful and everything is so peaceful.

But even though we can sleep calmly at night, we also have to beware for the dangerous predators lurking around, such as lions!

That’s it for this story son, I hope you can learn to love this village someday as much as I do.
