At a small school in the middle of the forest, the teacher had a special idea: "Today, each animal in the class may give us some advice on how we can be a happy, friendly group together."
The donkey stepped forward and spoke in a firm voice: "Help others, even when it’s hard. Together the burden is lighter."
The lion shook his mane and said: "Have the courage to stand up for yourself and others when something is unfair."
The goldfish bubbled from his bowl: "Don’t forget to listen, even if it means being quiet for a while. Everyone deserves to be heard."
The wise owl nodded and murmured: "Think before you say or do something. Words can hurt or comfort."
The cheerful frog croaked: "Stay happy, even when things go wrong. A smile is contagious!"
The little mouse squeaked:"Even the smallest can help. Dare to share your ideas."
The colorful flamingo gracefully stepped forward: "Everyone can be different. Your color is what makes you special!"
The proud rooster crowed loudly: "Greet the new day kindly a cheerful ‘Good morning!’ is good for everyone."
The relaxed turtle nodded slowly: "Take your time. Not everyone is fast, and that’s okay."
The delicate butterfly fluttered through the air: "Small gestures, like a smile, can brighten someone’s day."
The magnificent peacock spread his tail: "Show what you can do but don’t boast. Everyone is good at something."
The soft cat purred:"Be kind and gentle with each other. That way everyone feels safe."
At the end, all the animals nodded, and the teacher smiled: "If we try to do all of this every day, then our class will be a truly wonderful place for everyone!"
Food for thought
In a group, everyone is important each in their own way. When we are kind, brave, patient, and helpful, everyone feels good. Every day, you can help make your class a better place!
