SHARING IS CARING
03 - Sharing is Caring
uketu is having a party and each child has decided to bring their favorite food. Ram loves chocolate chip cookies but his mother makes them
occassionally because they have a lot of sugar in them. Hence, Ram decides he is not going to share - he will eat them all by himself. What do you think happens to Ram after eating a whole plate of cookies! What does Suketu do?
Suketu:
Hey Ram, what's up? Are you ready for the party at my house tonight? I am so excited.
Ram:
Yeah, I can't wait either. I'm looking forward to playing games and eating lots of junk food..
Suketu:
I know. My mom is making popcorn for everybody. That's one of my favorite foods.
Ram:
My mom is making chocolate chip cookies.
Suketu:
(Rubbing his belly) Yum! I love chocolate chip cookies.
Ram:
(In a rude manner) Not as much as I do! You're not getting any. They're my favorite and I plan on eating all of them myself.
Suketu:
Aren't you going to share your cookies?
Ram:
Are you kidding? My mom hardly makes them for me. She says they're too sweet. But tonight, she won't be there to stop me and all the cookies will be mine! All mine!
Suketu:
We learned in our Päthashälä сlass that we should share what we have with others. That's why we're all making something - to share with each other.
Ram:
Who cares about sharing? If I bring them, I am going to eat all of them.
Suketu:
Okay, suit yourself. (Both leave)
