Once upon a time there were two friends, Bob and Martha. Both were very thoughtful and liked to do things together. One day Bob and Martha were looking for something to do. Suddenly, Bob had a good idea.
He pointed to a tree in the distance and said, "Let's go snap it down!". Martha thought for a moment and shook her head. She said, "No, that won't be a good idea. We should be more thoughtful."
Bob looked at Martha in surprise, but then he saw the wisdom in her words. He nodded and said, "You're right. Let's walk around the tree instead." So they did, and as they circled the tree, they talked about what a nice tree it was, and the kindness of being thoughtful to all the creatures that made their home in the tree.
The moral of the story is that being thoughtful is important. Next time you have an idea, think it through and consider how it might affect other living things before you act.
