Overview
In this lesson pupils will read a tale from Japanese folklore which tells of how one small act of generosity leads to big gains. They will think about whether generous acts should be rewarded and consider whether good fortune should be shared. Pupils will conclude the session by discussing ways in which they can show generosity to others without spending money.
