Work 11: Ms. G and Ms. H Children in the Sea-Blue School were playing together in the sea. "Haw-haw!" A Shark laughed, "My Banana-boat is the fastest." His boat broke in where children were playing and made them angry. "Why don't you look around?" they said. He had only wanted to play together with them. He was crying all alone. Mr. Whale, teacher, told the Shark, "They don't dislike you. They just want that you think about other friends. So, think about friends and ask yourself, 'What's wrong with me?" The Shark thought, " I have always wanted to join them. To arouse their interest, I have tried to attract attention. But now I know that I want to play with them!" Friends came and said, "Let's think together what to do." "I thought of myself. I'm sorry. I want to have a good time with you all," he said. And they said, "So do we!" He came to know that getting on well with friends is a happy and important thing.  Original Picture Book List  Back   Next
