Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll that she loved very much. She called her doll Anna. Ben had a car that he liked to zoom around. He called his car Zoomy.
One day, Ben wanted to play with Anna. He asked Lily, "Can I have Anna for a little bit?" Lily said, "No, she is mine. You have Zoomy." Ben felt angry. He wanted to have both toys. He grabbed Anna from Lily's arms and ran away. Lily cried, "Give her back! You are mean!"
Ben ran to his room and slammed the door. He looked at Anna. She had a pretty dress and long hair. He pulled her hair and ripped her dress. He felt happy. He thought, "Now Lily will be sad. She will not want Anna anymore. I can have her."
But then he heard Lily knock on his door. She said, "Ben, please open the door. I want to talk to you." Ben felt scared. He hid Anna under his bed. He opened the door and saw Lily. She had tears in her eyes. She said, "Ben, why did you take Anna? She is my best friend. I miss her. Please give her back."
Ben felt guilty. He saw that Lily was hurt. He did not want to hurt her. He liked Lily. She was his sister. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was angry. I wanted to have Anna too. But I was wrong. I did something bad. I hurt Anna. Look." He took Anna from under his bed and showed her to Lily.
Lily gasped. She saw that Anna's hair was pulled and her dress was ripped. She felt sad. She said, "Ben, how could you do this? Anna is broken. She needs to heal. She needs love. You don't love her. You are mean."
Ben felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I do love her. I love you too. I don't want to be mean. I want to be nice. Can you forgive me? Can we heal Anna together?"
Lily looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry too. She said, "I forgive you, Ben. I love you too. We can heal Anna together. We can fix her hair and her dress. We can give her a hug. We can say a nice word to her. We can be her friends."
Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. You are kind. You have a nice word. What is your word?"
Lily thought for a moment. She said, "My word is love. Love is a good word. Love can heal. Love can make us happy. Do you have a word, Ben?"
Ben thought for a moment. He said, "My word is sorry. Sorry is a good word. Sorry can heal. Sorry can make us friends. Can we say our words to Anna?"
Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, we can. Let's say our words to Anna. Let's heal her. Let's play with her. Let's share her."
They hugged Anna and said their words. They said, "We love you, Anna. We are sorry, Anna. We are your friends, Anna." Anna smiled. She felt healed. She felt loved. She felt happy. She said, "I love you, Lily. I love you, Ben. I am your friend, Anna." They played with Anna and Zoomy. They shared their toys. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They learned that words can heal. They learned that words can hurt. They learned to be careful with their words. They learned to be kind with their words. They learned to use good words.
