    The Scarecrow

    There once was a scarecrow that lived on the edge of a forest and felt completely useless. His friends stood in a field, and their threatening appearance scared all the birds away. The wind made their clothes whir, and cans hanging from their sleeves made a disturbing clanging sound. He only had a tightly fitted old hat and an old coat. He looked at the distant fields and thought that nothing good would ever happen in his life.

    One day he felt a nudge in his pocket.

    Woo, hoo! he tried to scare the unwelcome visitor.

    Quiet! piped a mouse from the pocket. I saw a hawk. I became very frightened. But you’re so great that he won’t have the courage to look for me here.

    You’re not afraid of me? asked the disappointed scarecrow.

    You look very nice and friendly, said the mouse with conviction.

    The scarecrow smiled. He thought that it was very nice to be liked. When in the evening, a nightingale came to sit on his hand made of a dry branch and began to sing beautifully, the scarecrow declared that he liked his new life as the defender of small animals.

    Tim’s Train

    Tim always wanted to become a locomotive engineer just like his grandfather. He loved to wear a railway cap on his head. He also liked the whistle of the locomotive and the steady clatter of its wheels. One day his grandfather fell asleep; as usual he was in such a deep sleep that even the roar of a cannon could not wake him up. Meanwhile, the train was standing at the platform, and the passengers were very impatient. It was an extraordinary train for it was loaded with animals destined for a new zoo. Their keepers walked nervously around the station and looked emphatically at their watches.

    Tim put his grandfather’s cap on and climbed into the cab of the locomotive. So many times he had traveled with his grandfather that he knew exactly what to do. The train wheezed, whistled and slowly began to move. Tim was very excited, but suddenly, it dawned on him that he did not know where to go. But it was too late. The train was traveling, Tim’s grandfather slept, and Tim was alone with his problem. Then Tim had an idea. He would simply go to the next station where his grandmother lived. She was always able to solve problems.

    His grandmother was very surprised when from the train, instead of his grandfather, Tim jumped out. When she heard what had happened, she immediately went to the kitchen. She grabbed a plate of pancakes and ran to the train car where her husband was snoring happily. She stuck the pancakes under the grandfather’s nose, and when he felt the sweet smell, he took a deep breath and opened one eye. When he opened the second, the grandmother told him everything. The grandfather jumped to his feet and immediately took command of the train. Tim’s grandmother offered the travelers her pancakes. They liked
