A story about How to Say Sorry
for your 3rd Grader.
King Doodle Bum ruled over Sweettooth Land, where candy canes popped up like flowers and chocolate clouds drifted across the sky. He was known for his playful smile and curious mind, which made every day feel like a sweet surprise.
Early one morning, the sparkly ghost named Glimmer Puff floated gently through the peppermint gates. She loved big adventures, and she had heard about a special chocolate tower being built for the royal celebration.
In the middle of the courtyard stood a glittering tower made of the finest chocolate. It sparkled in the morning light, ready to amaze the kingdom's guests.
But King Doodle Bum couldn't resist taking a tiny bite. One bite turned into many, and soon the entire chocolate tower was gone! He was shocked to see only crumbs where the grand tower once stood.
Glimmer Puff immediately noticed the empty courtyard and the worried faces of the gumdrop guards. She drifted toward King Doodle Bum, wondering what had happened to the tower everyone was so excited about.
Over by the castle gates, a big, glittery apology banner had been set out for guests to sign. Now, it fluttered sadly, waiting for words that might never come.
King Doodle Bum felt terrible. He wanted to hide, but he remembered that if you do something wrong, the first step is to admit it. So, he took a deep breath and said, “I ate the tower, and I am truly sorry.”
Glimmer Puff floated closer to comfort him. She gently told him, “Mistakes happen, but we can make things better by being honest and fixing what we broke.”
