Ben and Mia Invite a Friend
Rick Allen

On a sunny day, Ben and Mia were playing in the park. 


Mia said, “Let’s be kind today!” Ben nodded.

 They both noticed a boy who looked sad. 


Ben said, “Let’s invite him to play.” 


“Want to play with us?” Mia asked. 


“I’d like that!” the boy said, smiling. 


“There is a ball we can all play with!” Ben said, running to grab it. The three of them laughed and shared the ball.


 “It’s fun to have kind friends,” Mia said. The boy grinned. “I’m happy you asked me!”


 From that day on, kindness became their favorite way to play.

What We Learned

By reaching out and including someone new, Ben and Mia show that kindness means noticing others and making them feel welcome.
