Bella and the little red ball

Bella and the little red ball

Introduction One sunny morning, a little girl named Bella went outside to play at daycare. Bella had a bright red ball that she loved playing with. She liked to roll it, bounce it, and throw it in the air. Her friend Ellie came outside and wanted to play with her.

Ellie walked over to Bella and asked, “Can I play with the ball too?” Bella held her ball close and said, “No, it’s my ball!” Ellie looked sad and walked over to sit by herself. Bella kept playing, but after a little while, she started getting bored. She looked over and saw Ellie sitting alone.

Their teacher, Miss Sarah, walked over and asked Bella, “Wouldn’t it be more fun if you had someone to play with?” Bella thought about it for a minute. She realized that Ellie just wanted to have fun too.

Bella walked over to Ellie and said, “Do you want to play ball with me?”

Ellie smiled really big and said, “Yes!”

The girls started rolling the ball back and forth. Then they took turns throwing it to each other. They laughed and played together until it was time to go inside.

When it was time to clean up, Bella told Ellie, “Playing with you was more fun than playing by myself!” Ellie smiled and said, “Thank you for sharing with me!”

Bella learned that sharing doesn’t mean you lose something. It means you get to have fun with someone else. From that day on, Bella tried her best to share and take turns with her friends.
