Think about a story that you love, like "The Three
Little Pigs". In that story, there is a problem that
the pigs have to solve, which is that the big bad
wolf is trying to blow down their houses.
Now, imagine that there are many diferent stories
about how to solve this problem. Some stories
might say that the pigs should build their houses out
of straw or sticks, which won't be strong enough to
stop the wolf. Other stories might say that the pigs
should build their houses out of bricks, which will be
strong enough to stop the wolf.

PROBLEMS.
it's important to listen to
diferent stories and make
up our own minds about
what is the best way to
make the world a better
place!
Just like these stories, there are many diferent ideas
about how to solve big problems in the world, like making
sure everyone has enough food and clean water, or
making sure that the world is a healthy place for all
animals and plants. Some of these ideas might not be very
good, while others might be better.
The stories that people hear and believe the most are
called "predominant narratives". Just like in the story of
the Three Little Pigs, these stories can shape how people
think about problems and what they believe is the best
way to solve them. So it's important to listen to diferent
stories and make up our own minds about what is the
best way to make the world a better place!
