Online safety, a project and a moral story

This is a moral story. A daughter tells her mother that life is hard. The mother takes her to the kitchen and boils three pots of water. She puts a carrot in one, an egg in another and ground coffee beans in the third. The carrot becomes soft, the egg becomes hard inside, and the coffee changes the water – its smell and colour go into it. The mother asks: when problems come, how do you react? The main idea is that the way we respond to difficulty matters. When you read, find the characters, events and lesson; the story is told in the Past Simple. Only work with boiling water together with an adult.
