Once upon a time there was a little boy called Ben. Ben loved to explore and was always curious about everything. One day, he stumbled upon history books in his grandparents house.
Ben held one of the books and asked his Grandpa, “What’s this?”
Grandpa smiled. “This is a book about history," he said. 
Ben looked confused and asked, “What is history?”
Grandpa looked up and said, “History is something we can lift up to become better. It teaches us lessons and makes us smart. It’s full of stories.”
Ben didn’t understand and he said, “It looks so dull.”
Grandpa lifted Ben up onto his chair and said, “It’s not dull. It’s a part of your identity. It’s your past, present and future.”
Ben smiled and he suddenly understood the importance of learning history.
The moral of this story is that history can teach us valuable lessons. We can lift it up to become better and to avoid mistakes from the past.
