Fred and Ginny’s Story
Fred was spending the afternoon playing at Ginny’s house. He started rolling toy cars down her long hallway.
Soon, Fred began launching the cars faster and faster, causing them to slam hard against the wall. Fred did not worry about damaging the wall or breaking the toys because they did not belong to him.
This made Ginny very sad. The toy cars were a special gift from her father, and the hard crashes were leaving ugly marks all over the hallway wall.
Questions to Think About
- Do you think Ginny will invite Fred back to her house to play? Why or why not?
- How do you feel when someone is careless or rough with your favorite things?
- What are some good rules to follow when we are using things that belong to other people?
