Sasha lived in a little house at the edge of a big, snowy forest. One bright morning, she bundled up tight to play outside.
Sasha loved the snow! First, she decided to build a new friend.
While she worked, something magical floated down from the sky. It was the most perfect snowflake Sasha had ever seen.
Sasha chased the snowflake toward the edge of the woods, where the path curved. Suddenly, a voice called out to her. "Hello, little one!"
It was a stranger. He was wearing dark winter clothes and a big scarf. He held out a shiny silver whistle. "I found this," he said softly. "Is it yours?"
Sasha’s tummy felt funny. It felt like a little fluttery red flag was waving inside her. Sasha knew she should not take gifts from someone she didn't know.
Her mom always said, "If a stranger talks to you, say NO, GO, and TELL!" Sasha remembered her safety rule.
Sasha took a big breath and said loudly and clearly, "NO! I don't know you!"
Then, Sasha turned around and ran. She ran as fast as her chunky snow boots would carry her!
She ran straight inside her cozy house and slammed the door. Safe!
"Mom! Mom!" Sasha cried. "A stranger tried to talk to me in the woods."
Mom hugged Sasha tight. "You did the right thing, Sasha! I am so proud of you for being brave and smart."
Mom called Officer Miller. He came to their house to make sure everything was okay. Sasha told him exactly what happened.
Because Sasha followed the safety rule, she was safe. And the next day, she made the best snowman ever!
Sometimes the biggest adventures start with a little voice inside. When Sasha takes a walk in the snowy woods and meets someone she doesn't know, she learns that her tummy feelings are there to protect her. A heartwarming story about trusting your instincts, learning vital safety rules, and the power of speaking up.
