This is an environmental stories that has two endings to choose from, a happy ending and a sad ending. Milo and his mice friends live on an island where in winter it can get dark, cold, and stormy unlike when they happily roam about the island in the summer, this forces them to live in little holes most of the winter. Milo makes a discovery of a magical stone that brings light and warmth. He tells his friends where he finds it. In the happy ending, all the mice only take one stone each, and put love into decorating a rock to put in the place of the stone as a way of thanking the island. In the sad ending, the mice run rampant with greed, taking all the stones they can find for themselves which leads to the island collapsing.
I think this is a great way to introduce children to taking care of the world they live on and be thankful and sparing of its resources.
