A story about
for your 3rd Grader.

Once upon a time, a little panda named Pongo had autism but loved adventure. He wanted to go on an adventure through the woods. But, Mama Panda said it was dangerous, so she gave him a magical compass that always points him home.

One day, while pondering over a big, colorful mushroom, Pongo met his first friend on the journey, a chatty squirrel named Scruffles, who knew every nook and cranny of the forest.

Scruffles suggested to climb to the tree tops but pongo was anxious and scared. Scruffles noticing Pongo's nervousness, told him tales of a magical tree that grants wishes to those who climb its branches, sparking Pongo's curiosity and courage.

Pongo and Scruffles wandered further into the woods, where they stumbled upon an enchanted stream, its waters shimmered like rainbows, which promised new discoveries if they followed it.

Pongo decided to splash some water from the enchanted stream onto his face. To his surprise, he could suddenly understand the language of the birds, who warned him of an upcoming storm that could only be calmed by song.

They thought that if they traveled further they would find another magical friend to help. Suddenly, they noticed a graceful deer with golden antlers hopping from tree to tree, singing a gentle lullaby that echoed through the forest, calming the skies. The deer introduced itself as Harmony, a guardian of the forest, and offered to guide them through the stormy woods.

As Harmony led Pongo and Scruffles deeper into the forest, they began to hear the soothing sounds of a musical waterfall. Intrigued, the trio marched towards the sound, discovering that the waterfall was home to a playful family of water sprites who danced around in tune with the forest's heartbeat.

The water sprites greeted them warmly and offered a challenge: if Pongo, Scruffles, and Harmony could think of a song that made everyone smile, the sprites would reward them with magical, rainbow-touched water to keep them safe during their journey.
