Once upon a time in the bustling town of Reims, young John played with dreams. He wore robes fit for a pope, but in his hand—a telescope! With a twinkle in his eye, he gazed at stars that lit up the sky. 'Oh, what wonders I can spy!' he'd sing, dreaming of a future with a heartfelt ring.

John's family was big and jolly, filling their home with warmth and folly. But one day the house grew sad, for loss took away what they once had. John held strong, with heart so brave, finding solace in faith's soft wave.

Off he went, into the world, where schools were unfurl'd. With books and verses, he sought knowledge, like a squirrel seeking precious forage!

In the grand city of Paris, the air was abuzz with a daring chorus. 'Schools for the poor and a bold new path!' Adrien Nyel proclaimed with a laugh.

Together they plotted with plans precise, to build schools with a fresh, sweet slice! Free for the young and keen, with ideas bright and gleam.

But oh, the challenges did grow like weeds! The other schools grumbled with stubborn creeds. John faced the storm with a heart of grace, meeting each test with a smiling face.

As the rumble grew louder — Boom, Bang, Slam! — unity twisted like a sturdy ram. With a vow most heroic, the Brothers stood firm, like an unmoving oak.

One step, one school, then another! Across France, they'd cheer ‘Thank you, dear brother!’ Like bubbles rising in a fizzy delight, their mission spread like a kite in flight.

Through Rome the echoes began to tremor, ‘Education for all!’ shouted with tremor. The world was a stage, and their journey, a play, each act brighter than the prior day.

Saint John's story, bright as gold, sang of courage bold. With every challenge met with delight, he taught that learning is a wondrous light.

And so, dear child, as you read and play, remember the light of this special day. For Saint John’s lesson, near and far, shines radiant as a star.

The end or start, it's all up to you. With stories, both old and new, make your dreams come true.
