Sara and Tom were playing in the yard. They saw a big bird with brown feathers and a red thing on its head. Sara said, "Look, Tom, a turkey!"
Tom said, "No, Sara, that is not a turkey. That is a chicken."
Sara said, "How do you know, Tom? Did you ask the bird?"
Tom said, "No, I did not ask the bird. I just guess. I know what a turkey looks like. A turkey has a big tail that opens like a fan. This bird does not have a big tail."
Sara said, "Maybe this bird is a baby turkey. Maybe its tail will grow bigger when it gets older."
Tom said, "No, Sara, you are wrong. This bird is a chicken. I am sure."
Sara and Tom started to argue. They did not agree on what the bird was. They did not listen to each other. They did not have fun.
Then, they heard a voice from the house. It was Mom. She said, "Sara, Tom, come inside. It is time for lunch. I made you a sandwich with turkey and cheese."
Sara and Tom ran to the house. They were hungry. They said, "Sorry, Mom, we were playing."
Mom said, "That is okay, my loves. But next time, try to be more honest with each other. If you are not sure about something, you can say, 'I think' or 'I wonder' instead of 'I know' or 'I guess'. That way, you can learn from each other and have more fun."
Sara and Tom nodded. They said, "Okay, Mom, we will try to be more honest. Thank you for the lunch. We love turkey and cheese."
Mom smiled. She said, "You are welcome, my loves. I love you too. Enjoy your lunch."
