Story

Improve your vocabulary by discovering the word "paradox" through an engaging story - available in both text and audio formats.
Bernie the cat was a curious feline who loved to explore the world around her. One day, she stumbled upon a strange object that looked like a box, but when she tried to get closer, it disappeared into thin air. Bernie was confused and felt like she was experiencing a paradox. Later that day, Bernie saw a bird perched on a branch, singing a beautiful melody. She tried to catch the bird, but it flew away, leaving Bernie feeling disappointed. She realized that the paradox of wanting to catch the bird while also wanting it to be free was a difficult one to solve. As Bernie continued to explore, she encountered a group of mice who had built a cozy home in a hollow log. Bernie watched as they scurried around, gathering food and playing. She felt a sense of paradoxical emotions - she wanted to play with the mice, but she also knew that they were her natural prey. Despite the paradoxes she encountered, Bernie never lost her sense of wonder and curiosity. She continued to explore the world around her, always eager to learn something new.
