Once, there was a man named Thomas who lived in a small town by the sea. Thomas was older now, with a bit of gray in his hair, and he liked to sit outside in his old chair every evening. Thomas was known for being quiet, but when he did talk, his words were important. What he talked about most was something he wished he had done differently.

Mr. Darrow gave her a planner—a book where she could write down what she needed to do each day, including time to relax and hang out with friends. It wasn't easy, but Elara started to use the planner. She wrote down when she ha

On Saturday morning, after a breakfast of pancakes and syrup, Tom decided to explore the forest.
