STORY   Once upon a time there were a family of Beavers
    In the river at the bottom of the field. You could
    Often see the young ones playing, chasing and
    Running round the field. Sometimes they would
Be swimming and diving in the water. The Beavers were lucky and had lots to eat, as there loads of fish in the river.

One day a very skinny Beaver, who looked as though he had walked and swum a long way, came up to the lucky Beavers and said “Can you share your fish with me as I am very hungry?”

The lucky Beavers who, by the way, were called Tommy and Billy, went into their lodge and said “Mummy, Mummy, there’s a funny looking Beaver outside who wants some of our fish”.

Mummy Beaver said “Bring him in and I’ll give him some”. So in came the scruffy Beaver and had tea with Tommy and Billy, Mummy and Daddy Beaver.

Daddy Beaver said “if you have no where to live you can live with us and have all the food you need”. Scruffy Beaver was so pleased; he smiled all over his face.

From then on you can see Tommy, Billy and Scruffy all playing together at the bottom of the field.

SHARING TIME The Leader gives double Milky Way bars to half of the Beavers, and asks them to give one of there’s to a Beaver with out one (Please let them eat it now)
