A Children's Storybook Page 1 A long time ago in Israel, there was a kind woman named Hannah. She loved God very much, but she was sad because she had no children. Every year, she went to the temple to pray. Page 2 One day, with tears in her eyes, Hannah prayed, “Lord, if You give me a son, I will give him back to You to serve You all his life.” Page 3 The priest, Eli, saw Hannah praying and said, “May God grant your request.” Hannah believed in God’s promise and left the temple full of hope. Page 4 God answered Hannah’s prayer! She gave birth to a baby boy and named him Samuel, which means “God has heard.” She loved him dearly. Page 5 When Samuel was old enough, Hannah kept her promise. She brought him to the temple and said to Eli, “God has blessed me with a son, and now I give him back to serve the Lord.” Page 6 Samuel grew up in the temple, learning from Eli. One night, he heard a voice calling, “Samuel! Samuel!” He thought Eli was calling him, but Eli said, “I did not call you. Go back to sleep.” Page 7 The voice called again, and again Samuel ran to Eli. But Eli realized it was God speaking to Samuel! He told Samuel, “Say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.’” Page 8 Samuel listened, and God spoke to him. From that night on, Samuel became a great prophet, guiding Israel and teaching them to follow God. Page 9 Hannah’s faith and promise led to Samuel becoming one of the greatest leaders of Israel. And through it all, she was thankful, knowing that God had answered her prayer. Page 10 “For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my request.” – 1 Samuel 1:27

On a frosty Christmas Eve, in a small cozy town, Little Emma and Huey ran up and down. The snowflakes danced in the cold winter air, And the world was wrapped in a blanket so fair. Emma’s cheeks glowed like the holly so bright, As she dreamed of adventures in the still, silent night. With Huey beside her, so fluffy and true, They were ready for magic and wonders anew. They wandered through forests all dusted with white, Where the stars overhead twinkled softly with light. Huey barked gently, his nose to the ground, When suddenly, footsteps they both heard resound. From behind a tall pine stepped a man dressed in red, With a twinkle in his eye and a hat on his head. “Why, hello there, Emma,” Santa said with a grin, “I was hoping for help—shall we begin?” The sleigh had been stuck on a slippery hill, And the reindeer were tired, their breath frozen still. Emma and Huey, without a delay, Said, “We’ll help you, Santa, and save Christmas Day!” With a rope and their strength, they pulled with all might, And soon Santa’s sleigh was soaring in flight. “Thank you, dear Emma, and Huey as well, You’ve saved Christmas Eve with your kindness to tell!” As a gift for their help, Santa left a surprise: A golden collar for Huey and for Emma, bright skies. He flew off with a “Ho ho ho!” through the night, As Emma and Huey watched him fade out of sight. Back home they returned, hearts full of delight, Knowing they’d made the world brighter that night. And every Christmas Eve, as the snow softly falls, Emma and Huey still wait for Santa’s calls.

The First Christmas in the Philippines A group of travelers, caught in a fierce storm, found themselves shipwrecked on a beautiful and mysterious island. Among them was Odo, a kind and faithful man who always shared stories of God wherever he went. Meeting the Natives While resting on the beach, the travelers encountered curious but wary villagers. Odo, sensing their fear, knelt and prayed for peace. Miraculously, the villagers’ unease faded, and an elder invited them to share their story. The Story of Christmas Under a grand tree, Odo gathered the villagers and told them the story of Jesus' birth. He spoke of a baby sent by God to bring love, hope, and joy to the world. The villagers, especially the children, were captivated and asked to celebrate this special birth. The First Christmas Celebration The villagers prepared joyfully: children decorated a tree with palm leaves, seashells, and flowers, while the adults cooked a feast of fresh fruits, fish, and rice. Odo taught them a song about Jesus, and together they celebrated under the starry sky. The Gift Exchange Odo encouraged the villagers to exchange gifts made with love. They gave simple, meaningful offerings like woven mats, carved animals, and shiny shells, emphasizing the true spirit of giving. The Lesson of Christmas Odo reminded everyone that Christmas was about love, kindness, and unity. The villagers, touched by his words, vowed to celebrate Christmas every year as a reminder to cherish these values. Odo's Departure As Odo and his friends prepared to leave, the villagers gave him a pouch of seashells as a token of gratitude. Waving goodbye, they promised to carry the spirit of Christmas in their hearts. Ending Note Thus, on December 25, 1324, the first Christmas in the Philippines was celebrated, igniting a tradition of love, kindness, and faith that the villagers passed down through generations.

Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a little boy named Gus. Gus loved to run and play outside. One sunny day, he spotted a big, muddy puddle in his yard. “Yippee!” shouted Gus. “I’m going to jump in that puddle!” Gus put on his bright red boots and ran toward the puddle. His friend, Bud, saw him from the swing. “Wait for me, Gus!” Bud called, swinging high. Gus waited. “Come on, Bud! It’s fun!” Bud jumped off the swing and ran to join Gus. Together, they stood at the edge of the puddle. “On the count of three, let’s jump!” said Gus. “Okay!” Bud nodded. “One… Two… Three!” They both jumped into the muddy puddle. Splash! Mud flew everywhere! “Look at us!” Gus laughed. “We’re muddy buddies!” Just then, a little dog named Pup came over. He tilted his head and barked, “Woof! What are you doing?” “We’re having a muddy fun time!” Bud said, splashing more mud. Pup wagged his tail. “I want to join!” Gus and Bud laughed. “Okay, Pup! Jump in!” Pup jumped right into the puddle, sending mud flying. They all rolled and played until they were covered in mud from head to toe. After a while, they decided it was time to clean up. “Let’s go back to my house,” said Gus. “We can wash off in the tub!” When they got to Gus's house, his mom chuckled at the sight of the muddy friends. “Oh my! What happened to you three?” “We had the best fun in the puddle!” Gus exclaimed, grinning. His mom smiled and filled the tub with warm water. “Alright, muddy buddies, it’s bath time!” After their bath, Gus, Bud, and Pup sat together on the porch, drying off in the sun. “That was the best day ever!” Bud said. “Let’s do it again tomorrow!” Gus replied, his eyes sparkling with excitement. And so, every sunny day, they would jump in the puddles, making more muddy memories together. The End
