Once upon a time 🎵, on the edge of an ancient, whispering forest, lived a woodcutter with his three sons. The two older brothers were very proud. They thought they were the smartest boys in the whole wide world, so they often made fun 🎵 of their youngest brother. They called him Silly Billy. But the truth was, he wasn’t silly at all. He just had a very good, kind heart, and he could never say no to anyone who needed help.
One frosty morning 🎵, the oldest brother went into the forest to chop some wood. His mother packed his basket with a delicious, sweet cake and a bottle of apple juice. The boy had barely stepped among the trees when a little, wrinkled **gray man** 🎵 🎵 popped out from behind a bush! The little old man politely asked for a piece of cake and a sip of juice, because he was very, very hungry. But the older brother huffed with anger. He said that if he gave away his food, he wouldn’t have enough energy to work, and he spun right around on his heel. Sadly for him, shortly after he started chopping, his axe slipped 🎵! He hurt his arm 🎵 and had to go straight back home.
