ONCE, A FOX built her house near a hedgehog’s cottage. The hedgehog tried to stay away from his new neighbor, but one day the fox crossed his path.
“Good day to you,” said the fox.
“Same to you,” answered the hedgehog, pulling his hood of spines over his head.
“Now that we are neighbors,” said the fox, “we should get to know each other and become friends. To prove my friendship, I’ll tell you a secret. Down in the village there is a vineyard with grapes so ripe they melt in your mouth. Would you join me there for dinner tomorrow?”
The hedgehog did not want to go, but the fox insisted, and in the end he agreed.
The next evening, they headed toward the village together. “I wonder, dear neighbor,” the fox asked, “do you have any tricks?”
“I have three,” he answered.
“How can you get by on only three tricks?” cried the fox. “I have a bag full of tricks. If you want, I can sell you some.”
“No, thank you,” said the hedgehog. “I am happy with what I have.”
Soon, they reached the vineyard. The vines were hanging low, heavy with grapes. The fox and the hedgehog ate their fill. When they turned to leave, the fox fell into an old dry well.
“This is the end of me!” she cried. “Dear neighbor, rescue me. Teach me one of your tricks.”
“I have only three tricks while you have a full bag,” said the hedgehog. “Use one of them and help yourself out.”

Chopsticks
Shay can never hold her chopsticks properly. When she uses them, they crisscross and make an X, and sometimes she cannot quite pick up the slippery pieces of tofu. Her mother laughs.
Matthias and the Dragons
STRIDING QUICKLY ALONG, Matthias glanced uneasily at the black stone cliffs towering beside him. Ahead, a still lake swarmed with dark clouds of midges. Finally, he spied the faraway ocean. Now I know my way back, he thought. I’d better hurry. We’re leaving the inn this afternoon, and Father won’t be too pleased if I’m late.
