I would like to dedicate this book to all the chil-

dren out there...keep it real.

Long ago, in a little village,

there lived a Baker

Every year the baker held a

raffle, where the winner

received a

scones!

...and every year, the people of

the village would line up for

miles just to enter the draw.

The baker slaved in

his kitchen the night

before the big lotto

preparing the

scones

He wanted everything

to be PERFECT!

As the baker was baking, Little

Rhys Walter laid in his bed

wide awake

Rhys! Get

to bed!

Rhys’ mom said as she came in

his room.

“I’m too excited to sleep!”

he said.

Rhys got up extra

early to make sure

he got a good place

in line.

He ran all the way to the Bakery

and waited in line for

hours before entering his name in

the draw

Rhys spent the whole

walk home wishing and

praying to win the

Lottery...

...and that night, Rhys wished on

shooting star to win the lottery

When it was finally

morning Rhys

to the bakery

He watched the baker reach into

the basket,

pick out a name,

And read it out...

Why Look at this! It’s Little Rhys

Walter from down the road!

Why Look at this! It’s Little Rhys

Walter from down the road!

Rhys was ecstatic!

He ran up

on the

stage.

And the baker handed him a

box!

Rhys was so proud as he

carried his big box home...

But on his way, he saw a man

sitting on the street, with a

sign….

HUNGRY

Rhys felt bad when he walked

past the man.

He realized the

right thing to do:

Rhys turned

around and

gave the man

the box of

scones

The man was SO

happy! He thanked

Rhys.

Rhys felt a strange feeling he

had never felt before.

A feeling that was even better

than winning the lottery.

Rhys learned that

sharing is great

and helping

people feels even

better!
