Another story is when Krishna lifted the Govardhan Hill. There was a great storm and heavy rain, and Krishna protected the villagers and their cattle by lifting the huge hill like an umbrella. This story illustrates Krishna's power and his love for his people, especially the kids in the village who were in danger.
There is also the story of Krishna's flute - playing. His melodious flute - playing would attract all the cows, the gopis, and the children. They would gather around him, and he would lead them on wonderful adventures in the meadows. It shows how Krishna was a source of joy and wonder for the kids.
One of the well - known Krishna kids stories is about Krishna stealing butter. As a naughty but beloved child, Krishna would often raid the homes of the gopis (cowherd women) and steal butter. This shows his mischievous side yet also his charm. The gopis would scold him but also dote on him.
Another lesson is about the fun and joy in life. His flute - playing and leading the kids on adventures in the meadows teach us to find simple pleasures. The kids in the stories were always happy when they were around Krishna, enjoying the beauty of nature and his company.
Here is one. Why is the doctor so angry? Because he has no patience. (A play on the word 'patience' sounding like 'patients'.)
There was a miner's kid named Sally. Her dad worked in a coal mine. Sally often worried about her father's safety. One day, there was a small accident in the mine. Thankfully, her father was okay.

Once a little kid thought that if he planted a coin in the garden, a money tree would grow. So he dug a hole and put his piggy bank money in it. After a few days, when nothing grew, he was so disappointed. But it was really funny how he thought money could grow like plants.
A spooky kids story is about the 'Ghostly Footsteps'. In an old house, a family with kids moved in. At night, the kids would hear soft, slow footsteps in the hallway. They thought it might be their parents, but when they checked, no one was there. One night, one of the kids was brave enough to follow the sound. He saw a faint figure disappearing around the corner. There's also the story of 'The Scary Tree'. In the backyard, there was a large, old tree. The kids claimed that when they passed by it at dusk, they could hear whispers coming from within the branches.
Another story could be about Jonah. Although Jonah was not a child in the traditional sense at the start of his story, the message is relevant for kids too. God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, but Jonah ran away. He was swallowed by a big fish. This shows kids that when we are given a task by a higher power (or in real - life terms, by our parents or elders), we should not run away but face it. And Jonah eventually did go to Nineveh and preached as he was supposed to.
In ancient Rome, there were kids who would go to the Colosseum. They might have been excited to see the gladiator battles. But sometimes they would get into trouble for running around and being too noisy during the events. It's a funny look at how kids were in that historical time.
One story could be a kid who went fishing with his grandpa. He cast his line and felt a huge tug. After a long struggle, he pulled out a massive catfish that was almost as big as him. It was so incredible because he was just a little boy and managed to reel in such a big fish all by himself.
One quick bedtime story is 'The Little Star'. There was a little star in the sky that was always curious about the Earth. One night, it decided to come closer. It saw children sleeping and wished them sweet dreams. Then it went back to the sky, happy to have peeked at the world below.
One scary German kids story is 'The Gnome'. In this story, a little gnome lives in an old forest. He is known to play tricks on children who wander too far into the woods. He might lead them in circles until they are completely lost. Once a boy named Hans didn't listen to his parents and went deep into the forest. The gnome started making strange noises and led Hans astray. Hans was terrified as the forest seemed to close in on him.
