Create a Thank You Card from the Old Stag.
Instructions:
- Imagine you are the old stag, grateful to the friends who helped you while you were sick. Prepare a thank you card to show your appreciation.
- Front of the Card: Draw a picture of the stag surrounded by his friends in the forest.
- Inside the Card: Write a kind thank you message to his friends, expressing how their help made him feel better.
Front of Card: A drawing showing the old stag standing on the hillock surrounded by various animals (deer, elephant, giraffe, birds) and birds in a forest setting with green grass and trees.
Inside Card Message: Dear friends,
Thank you for your love and care when I was unwell. When I could not come down from the hillock, you all came to check on me. Even though you ate the tender grass at first, you realised your mistake and brought me fresh leaves to eat. You found food elsewhere so that I could have enough to recover. Your kindness helped me get well. I am grateful to have such caring friends.
With love and gratitude, The Old Stag
Explanation
