Once upon a time, there was a goose named Gertie. Gertie lived on a farm with her friends. She loved to play with her friends, but sometimes she would do something terrible. Gertie liked to throw things. One day, she found a big red ball.
Gertie thought it would be fun to throw the big red ball at her friends. She threw the ball at her friend, the cow. The cow was very sad. Gertie felt bad for making her friend sad. But Gertie could not stop thinking about throwing the ball.
The next day, Gertie saw a big tree with a hole in it. She thought it would be fun to throw the ball into the hole. Gertie threw the ball as hard as she could. The ball went into the hole and out came a big, beautiful butterfly. The butterfly said, "Thank you for helping me get out of the tree. I was stuck in there for so long!" Gertie was very happy that her terrible throwing had helped someone. From that day on, Gertie only threw things to help her friends.
