A story about Respect
for your Kindergartener.
Once upon a time, in a peaceful and friendly town, there was an adventurous boy named Michael. Michael loved puzzles more than anything else in the world. He loved the challenge, the mystery, and the joy of seeing a picture come together piece by piece.
One day, Michael discovered a magical toy shop he had never seen before. The shop was filled with toys of all shapes and sizes, but what caught Michael's eye was a beautiful, shiny puzzle.
The shopkeeper, a kind old man, told Michael, 'This is a very special puzzle, my boy. It only fits together when the person assembling it is polite and respectful.'
Michael was excited and couldn't wait to start the puzzle. But as he tried to fit the pieces together, he found that they wouldn't stick. He grew frustrated and impatient.
Remembering the shopkeeper's words, Michael took a deep breath and said, 'Please, puzzle, fit together.' To his surprise, two of the pieces stuck together!
Michael continued to assemble the puzzle, remembering to say 'please' and 'thank you' to each piece. But when he forgot his manners, the pieces would not fit together.
Michael realized that being polite and respectful was not just about saying the right words. It was about being patient and understanding, even when things are difficult.
With renewed determination, Michael approached the puzzle with patience and respect. He thanked each piece for its unique shape and place in the picture. Slowly but surely, the puzzle started coming together.
