"That’s mine!" shouted Rachel. Shereached over and grabbed the doll

from Megan’s hands. "You can’t playwith it! It’s my toy!"



Megan felt the dollbeing pulled out of

her hands. She stoodstill, staring atRachel. A tear ran

down her cheek. "Share," she

gulped.

"No! It’s mine,"Rachel scowled andturned her back to

the other girl.



Megan, realizing shewasn’t going to get to

play with the dollanymore, looked aroundfor another toy.



She saw some

building blocksand sat down in

front of them.

They were

painted bright

red, yellow,

green, blue,

purple and

She started

stacking them up high,

making a big tower.



She had just put a purple one on

the top when Rachel came over

and kicked the block tower over.

Blocks flew across the room.



"Those are mine! You can’t play withthem!" she snarled.

She threw thedoll across the

room and startedgathering theblocks into a hugepile.

She wrapped herarms around them

and wouldn’t let



Megan stood up and looked at

the blocks. She’d spent so much

time building that tower and nowit was broken to pieces. She burst

out crying.



"What’s the matter, Megan?" hermum asked, walking over to her.

Through the

sobs, she replied,"Rachel broke mytower. She kicked

it down andwon’t let me play withthe blocks any

more."



Her mum looked over at Rachel.She sat on top of the blocks,guarding them.

"Rachel, won’t you share yourblocks with Megan?" she asked.

"No! They’re my blocks. She can’tplay with them!" Rachel said

angrily.

"Well, Megan, you can play with

the doll. See it over there?" her



Just then, Rachel jumped up andran over to the doll. She grabbed it

and ran back over to the blocks.

"It’s mine!" "Oh, Rachel, that’s not very nice. You need to share your toys withthe other children. They share their

toys with you," Megan’s mumreminded. Rachel didn’t budge. She sat still

and refused to share.



"Come on, Megan. I think weneed to go home. Rachel’s notsharing her toys," her mum said.Soon, she and Megan left.

Rachel sat on her toys for a

while and then dropped the doll.She was all alone. Her mum was

busy in the kitchen and now shehad nobody to play with.



"Where’s Megan? Her mum

asked. She’d come into Rachel’sroom to check on her. "Did she gohome?"

"Yes. She went home with her

mum," Rachel said. "Why did she go? I thought she

was having fun with you? Don’tyou like playing with Megan?" her

mum asked.



"These are my toys,not Megan’s. I don’t

want her to touch anyof them," Rachelanswered.

"Well then, Rachel,she’ll not want tocome over and play

with you any more. If you can’t share, thenyou’ll have to play

alone," she explained.

Rachel spent the whole day playing

in her room by herself.

She built a castle with the blocks,

but there was nobody to see how tall itwas.

She tried to play dolls, but there was

nobody there to play mummies and

babies with.



Soon she started to feel lonely. She

wished that she had shared her toys

with Megan and that Megan was still

here.

"Mummy, can we go to Megan’s

"



"If you’d like," her mumanswered. They walked next doorand knocked.

Megan came to the door. "I’m

sorry, Megan. If you come back and play with me, I’ll share my

toys with you," Rachel said.



Megan smiled. "Okay, as long

as you share. I’ll bring some of

my toys over and you can play

with them too." She ran into her

room and grabbed her favorite

toys and took them over toRachel’s..



They playedtogetherhappily forseveral hours.When it was

time forMegan to gohome, she

said, "Thatwas fun.Sharing isfun.” Rachel

smiled

She was happier

because she’d

shared her toys

and let Megan play

with whatever shewanted. Megan

had let Rachel play

with some of her

toys too. Sharing is

much better!
