The smell of boiled crawfish filled the Louisiana kitchen, mixing with steam rising from the big silver pot. The wooden table was covered in newspaper, already stained with seasoning, and piled high with bright red crawfish, steaming potatoes, and golden corn. Gage sat on his knees, eyes wide as he stared at the mound of crawfish in front of him. His little brother wiggled in his high chair, smacking the tray while Daddy leaned back with a grin, beer in hand. Momma rolled up her sleeves. “Alright, cher, time to learn how to peel a crawfish.” Momma laughed, grabbing a fat crawfish. “Ain’t no wrong way, long as you get the meat out. But I’ll show you the right way.” She held the crawfish up. “First, grab it where the head and tail meet—right here. Now twist.” With a quick motion, she popped off the head. “Some folks suck the head for the good juices.” Gage gagged. “Ew, no way!” Daddy chuckled. “More for me, then!” Momma shook her head, smiling. “Alright, suit yourself. Now, pinch the end of the tail, squeeze a little, and pull.” She slid out the perfect piece of meat and dipped it in butter. “See? Easy.” Gage copied her, his fingers fumbling at first—twist, pinch, pull. Out came the juicy meat. “I did it!” Momma clapped. “That’s my boy! Now try it.” He dipped it in the butter and took a bite. His face lit up. “Mmm! That’s good!” His little brother babbled, reaching for the pile. Daddy laughed. “Looks like we got another crawfish lover.” The kitchen filled with laughter as they peeled and ate, passing corn and potatoes around. Gage wiped his hands and reached for another. “Momma, I think I’m getting good at this.”Momma ruffled his hair. “Told you, cher. Crawfish season ain’t just about eatin’. It’s about family.” And that night, under the warm glow of their Cajun kitchen, Gage became a true crawfish peeler.

One evening, Ece felt exhausted from studying but couldn’t fall asleep. Her mind was racing with thoughts of exams and the persistent inner voice telling her to work harder. Unable to calm her mind, she lay awake. Then her brother quietly entered her room. Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, he smiled gently and said, “Ece, let me share a relaxation technique I love.” “Imagine you are camping in a secret forest only you can discover. Visualize yourself slowly walking among the trees, hearing the sounds of nature. Take deep breaths and let your mind wander in this forest.” Ece decided to give it a try. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and imagined the woods her brother described. Instantly, she found herself under the shadow of lush trees, feeling a relaxed breeze on her face. Birds tweeted, and a babbling brook helped her soul. Walking in this forest, the rustle of leaves and the scent of rain filled her senses. This nightly "camping" became Ece’s favorite ritual. Her mind calmed, and she drifted off to sleep within minutes. Mornings brought her new focus, and soon, she not only managed her exam stress but also found herself more attentive in class. Her confidence grew, and the serene forest became her haven from stress.

Si Ella ay isang batang babae na nakatira sa isang maliit na baryo sa Talavera. Isang gabi, habang naglalakad siya pauwi mula sa paaralan, napansin niya ang isang kakaibang liwanag sa madilim na daan. Nang lumapit siya, nakita niyang may mga alitaptap na kumikislap sa paligid ng isang puno. “Wow! Ang ganda nila!” sabi ni Ella habang pinagmamasdan ang mga alitaptap na kumikislap ng iba't ibang kulay. Bigla, may narinig siyang tinig mula sa likod ng puno. “Kung gusto mong maging kasing liwanag namin, kailangan mong matutong magbigay liwanag sa iba,” wika ng isang alitaptap na lumipad palapit kay Ella. Nagulat si Ella at tiningnan ang alitaptap. “Paano ko naman magagampanan iyon? Paano ako magiging liwanag sa ibang tao?” “Ang liwanag namin ay hindi lang mula sa aming mga katawan. Ang tunay na liwanag ay galing sa kabutihang loob at pagtulong sa iba,” paliwanag ng alitaptap. Isang araw, habang naglalakad si Ella sa kalsada, nakita niyang may batang lalaki na nahulog at nadapa. Mabilis siyang lumapit at tinulungan ang bata. “Salamat, Ella!” sabi ng bata habang tumayo. Habang naglalakad sila papunta sa kanilang mga bahay, napansin ni Ella na para bang may mga alitaptap na nagsimula ulit magliyab sa paligid nila, mas maliwanag kaysa dati. “Napansin mo ba iyon? Parang may mga alitaptap na lumilipad sa paligid natin,” tanong ng batang lalaki. Ngumiti si Ella at naalala ang sinabi ng alitaptap sa kanya. "Oo, siguro dahil naging mabuti tayo sa isa’t isa. Ang liwanag ng kabutihang ginawa natin ay parang liwanag ng mga alitaptap.” Mula noon, natutunan ni Ella na hindi kailangang malaki ang tulong upang magbigay liwanag sa iba. Kahit sa maliliit na bagay—tulad ng pagtulong, pagpapatawad, at pagiging mabuti—ang mga simpleng ito ay nagsisilbing ilaw na nagpapaliwanag sa madilim na daan ng buhay. **Aral**: Ang kabutihang loob ay isang uri ng liwanag. Kapag tumulong tayo sa iba, tayo rin ay nagbibigay ng liwanag sa kanilang buhay, at sa ating sariling buhay.
