Joy loved his birthday. He was always very excited to receive presents and be the centre of attention.Every year he patiently waited for his birthday to get gifts from his parents and friends. This year, in particular, he was excited to open his gifts because he had gifts from his new friends at school.He had been expecting the latest toy car in gift. However, he didn’t get good enough gifts and ended up lashing out at his friends and spent the rest of his day visibly upset. His parents pulled him to the side and his mother told him, “Joy, I am angry at you.” Joy frowned, “Why?” “Because you are not wearing a white t-shirt.” Joy frowned further. This was no reason to be angry so he asked again, “But why?” “I expected you to wear a white t-shirt and you are not wearing one. So I am angry at you.” “But Ma, that is no reason to be mad at someone. I did not know what you wanted.” “Exactly, Joy, just like your friends did not know what you wanted. You need to be thoughtful of people’s feelings and understand their choices. They got you gifts that they thought you needed, so what if it did not turn out to be what you liked.” That was how Joy realised he could not have tantrums because he expected something and did not get what he wanted. Moral:Before reacting, we must understand the situation completely.

Joy's Birthday

Shina Utavani

Once upon a time, a bear was living in a jungle. He admired the moon shining up in the sky. One night, he was looking up at the sky and thought of giving a birthday present to the moon. But he did not know the Birthdate of the moon. He was not even sure what gift he would give to the moon. So, he decided to have a little chat with the moon. He decided to ask the moon what it would like to have for a present and so the bear went up into the mountains to get close to it. When the bear said “Hello” to the moon, his voice echoed back. The bear thought the response was coming from the moon. Because of the echo, everything the bear said was repeated back to him. The bear asked the moon, “What do you want for the birthday?” His voice echoed, and he thought that the moon was asking him what he wanted for the birthday. So, he replied that he wanted a hat. The same sentence was repeated because of the echo and the bear thought that the moon also wanted a hat for his gift. Now, bear knew what he wanted to gift the moon for his birthday. That night bear put the hat in a tree where the moon could find it. As the moon sneaked through the branches of the tree, it appeared that the moon was wearing the hat. The bear saw the moon wearing the hat and was pleased.The next morning, the hat fell out of the tree and to the bear’s doorstep. The bear believed that the moon had left it there as a present for him. The wind blew the hat away, the bear chased it, and when he could not find it, he decided to go to the mountain and talk with the moon. The bear told the moon, “I still love you” and the moon, of course, replied with the same.
