Heroes

[camels5]

Hi, I am looking for a story to tell young children ( 6&7yrs) about a hero. not doctors and nurses or firemen as we have already covered them. So far I have the Legend of Gelert (google him) and Mother Teresa. Any one have any other ideas? Thanks for any help. forgot to add that we can't really use biblical stories.

We can't you use biblical stories?

Dip into Greek mythology. Plenty of hero stuff there.

Seriously though if you use greek mythology it would be pretty cool to show him/her the Jim Henson versions in the future.

I thought you meant the guy out of To Catch A Predator for a second but a quick Google revealed his name is Chris Hansen
