The Little Prince
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUNLoymBO6g The Little Prince Chapter 1: The Crash in the Desert The narrator, a pilot, begins the story by talking about his love for flying. He explains that he has always dreamed of exploring the skies and seeing the world from above. One day, while flying his small airplane across the Sahara Desert, something unexpected happens. The engine of his plane suddenly breaks down, forcing him to make an emergency landing in the middle of nowhere. The desert is vast and empty, with nothing but sand stretching as far as the eye can see. The pilot is completely alone. He has very little food and water, and he knows he must fix the plane quickly or he won’t survive. He begins to work on the engine, but it is complicated, and he feels frustrated and tired. That night, the pilot sleeps under the starry sky, feeling lonely and worried. The stars twinkle brightly, and the silence of the desert feels heavy. But just as the sun rises the next morning, something extraordinary happens.

Steve Jobs Story
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUODKXLRjAg Steve Jobs Story Chapter 1: I Moved to the Perfect Neighborhood for Me Steve Jobs was only ten years old when his family moved to Mountain View, California. Little did he know that this new neighborhood would change his life forever. The area was full of engineers and people who loved technology. Steve’s neighbors were not like the ones he had before—these neighbors built and fixed things that looked like magic to Steve. One sunny afternoon, Steve walked outside and saw a man working in his garage. The garage was packed with strange gadgets and wires. Steve couldn’t help but stare. “Hey there, young man! Interested in what I’m doing?” the man asked, noticing Steve’s curiosity. Steve nodded eagerly. “What are you making?” he asked, his eyes wide with wonder. The man smiled. “I’m building a radio. Do you want to see how it works?” From that moment, Steve spent many afternoons in the garages of his neighbors, learning about circuits, wires, and how things were built. He loved asking questions. “Why does this part make the light blink?” “What happens if you connect these two wires?” The neighbors were patient and happy to teach him. One day, Steve brought home a broken clock he found at a yard sale. He wanted to fix it. His dad, Paul Jobs, noticed and decided to help. “Steve, let’s open it up together,” Paul said. “I’ll show you how to take it apart carefully.” Paul Jobs was not an engineer, but he was very good with his hands. He showed Steve how to look at each piece of the clock and figure out what might be wrong. By the end of the day, the clock was ticking again. “You see, Steve,” his dad said, “things are made by people, and you can learn to make them too.” Steve never forgot those words. He started to believe that he could make things, just like the grown-ups in his neighborhood. Steve’s school life was not as exciting as his afternoons with gadgets. In class, he was often bored. His teachers said he was smart but easily distracted. They didn’t know how to keep him interested. But one teacher changed everything. Her name was Mrs. Teddy Hill. She noticed that Steve loved challenges, so she gave him harder problems to solve. “Steve, I think you’re capable of more,” she said one day, handing him a puzzle. “Try this and tell me what you think.” Steve solved it quickly and asked for more. Mrs. Hill also told him stories about famous inventors, like Thomas Edison, who had changed the world by following their ideas. “You can do something great too, Steve,” she said with a warm smile. Her belief in him made Steve work harder in school, even if it wasn’t always fun. At home and in the neighborhood, Steve kept learning about electronics. He loved opening up radios, TVs, and anything else he could find. His parents were amazed by his curiosity. “Where does he get all this energy?” his mom joked one evening as Steve worked on a broken toaster in the kitchen. “Maybe he’s just wired differently,” his dad said with a laugh. Steve didn’t know it yet, but these small moments of fixing and building would prepare him for something much bigger in the future.
