One sunny day, under a shady tree, sat Mango, Apple and Orange. The three of them were best friends who always played together. Green leaves swayed gently in the breeze, and birds happily chirped happily on the branches. Apple, who was picking a small flower from the grass, smiled excitedly. ‘Why don't we go explore that green meadow over there?’ she suggested, pointing towards the fresh green expanse stretching not far from under the tree where they were staying. Enthusiastically, the three of them walked towards the vast green meadow. The sun shone warmly above their heads, and beautiful flowers bloomed all around, creating a colourful scene. Every now and then they stopped to admire the fluttering butterflies. After walking for some distance, Mango's eyes suddenly caught sight of something glittering in the grass. ‘Look at that!’ she exclaimed, pointing. Apple and Orange rushed over to Mango. There, in the undergrowth, was a medium-sized, gold-coloured stone that glittered amongst the greenery. The stone was very beautiful, as if it had been chiselled by the hand of a god. ‘Let's take it back to our tree.’ However, when they tried to lift it, it was heavier than they thought. Mango and Orange pulled, Apple pushed the rock slowly. They struggled persistently. Although they were tired, they did not give up. They encouraged each other and laughed. Finally, after a tiring journey, they managed to carry the golden stone to the bottom of the tree where they stopped. When the stone was placed on the ground, it reflected beautifully. The three of them sat by the stone, enjoying the fruits of their labour. From that day on, the golden stone became a symbol of their friendship.

This story uses the metaphor of a stone to gently and powerfully convey the journey of grief and loss in a way that resonates deeply with children. It captures the heavy and often isolating feeling that accompanies grief, yet inspires hope by showing that, over time, we can grow strong enough to carry that weight. Through vivid imagery of soaring, grounding, and gradual strength building, children can relate to the experience of feeling weighed down by sadness while also seeing a path toward resilience. The protagonist’s journey from feeling stuck to finding a new way to rise offers a comforting reminder that healing is possible, even if it looks different from the past. By ending with a message of empathy and support for others who may carry the same weight, the story emphasizes the importance of kindness and uplifting others. In There's a Stone in My Pocket, a child once free to soar through life finds themselves weighed down by a mysterious stone that symbolises grief and loss. As they watch their friends fly, they feel stuck and alone. However, over time, they grow strong enough to carry the stone and find their own way to rise. This touching story explores themes of grief, resilience, and hope, ultimately showing young readers that while the weight of loss may never fully disappear, they can find the strength to move forward and even help others along the way.

The ventral tegmental area (VTA) lit up like fireworks! 'That’s where excitement starts!' said Daisy. 'And look at those sparkles in your caudate nucleus; that’s where you feel rewarded!'" "Ollie said, 'When you see Leo, I release oxytocin to make you feel close to him!' Bella giggled. 'And I can feel Daisy making me happy!' They all danced together as love filled their hearts."
