The Boy Who Learns to Say “I Don’t Know Yet”
The Curious Question
Little Milo was walking home from school when his mind began to buzz with bright questions. He wondered why the sky was blue and why his pet rabbit liked carrots more than lettuce. Each question felt sparkling, and Milo wanted to know the whole truth. But in his excitement, he accidentally asked a neighbor, "Do you know everything?" The neighbor smiled and said, "That is a very good question, Milo." Milo felt his cheeks warm with curiosity.
Finding Answers
Milo spent the next day at the library, flipping through books and looking at pictures. He saw the sun rise, the clouds float, and the stars twinkle. The librarian asked, "What part of the book do you want to explore?" Milo answered with simple words, "I want to know about clouds." The librarian nodded and taught him how to look for bright blue shapes in the picture book. Milo learned that every picture could tell a story.

An Unexpected Answer
While wandering through the park, Milo met an old willow tree. He whispered his question to the tree, and the leaves rustled. "Listen," the tree replied, "You don't know yet, but that's how you learn." Milo sat down on a nearby bench, feeling the breeze. He realized that sometimes, the answer can start inside your own curiosity.

The Big Adventure
Milo decided to go on a small adventure in the woods. He made a path with stepping stones and followed a trail of mushrooms. He talked to a squirrel and asked why the squirrel was so quick. The squirrel chattered and pointed to a hidden pond. Milo followed the pond, discovering a rainbow reflection in the water. He felt amazed at all the new things he saw.

A Lesson Learned
Back at home, Milo shared his adventure with his family. "I didn't know the pond had a rainbow," he said proudly. His sister laughed, "We all learn some things every day." They told him, "When you don't know something, it's okay. That's where learning starts." Milo nodded, his mind filled with fresh new questions.

Returning Home
On a quiet evening, Milo thought about all the questions he still had. He wrote them in a small notebook and promised to ask later. He learned that it's wonderful to say “I don’t know yet,” because it invites learning. Milo fell asleep dreaming of new adventures, ready to explore with a curious heart.
