What Apho the Vole understands: Let children know how to affirm themselves and be the best they can be. It tells us to work hard and know how to plan for the future. They share all good things together, they are very united and are a big harmonious family. We children should also help and share with each other no matter what activities we take part in.

Originally:

Inside the stone wall, there lived a family of little field mice who loved to talk. Seeing that winter was not far off, the little field mice began to gather corn, nuts, wheat and straw. From morning to night, they were all busy - with one exception, Aphor.

"Alfred, why aren't you working?"

"I'm working." Apho said,

"I'm gathering sunlight, because the winter days are cold and dark."

"I'm gathering colors, because winter is gray."

"I'm gathering words because winter days are many and long, and we'll finish them."

Winter came, and Apho did it; Apho brought sunshine, colors, and words, and he helped his family have a warm and colorful winter.
