A story about Sharing
for your 3rd Grader.
In a bustling city dog park, filled with mazes, slides, and lots of other dogs, lived a sleepy dog named Milo. Milo loved bones more than anything else in the world.
One sunny day, Milo found something shiny buried in the sand. It was the legendary Bone of Destiny! Milo was overjoyed and wanted to play with it alone all day and night.
Suddenly, the park's caretaker, Mr. Barker, made an announcement. 'The park is in danger of closing! The only way to save it is if every dog plays with the Bone of Destiny!'
Milo was torn. He loved the Bone of Destiny and didn't want to share it. But he also loved the park and didn't want it to close.
'What should I do?' Milo asked his friend, Daisy the Dalmatian. 'Sharing can be hard,' Daisy said, 'but sometimes, it's the right thing to do.'
Milo thought about it. He loved the Bone of Destiny, but he also loved seeing his friends happy. He decided to share the bone.
But sharing wasn't easy. Some dogs didn't wait their turn, and others played too rough. Milo felt sad and missed playing with the bone alone.
'I miss my bone,' Milo told Daisy. 'But I also see how happy it makes everyone. And that makes me happy too.'
