Anna loved to play her flute. She liked the sound it made and how it made her happy. She played her flute every day in her room, in the garden, and at school.
One day, a boy named Ben saw Anna playing her flute. He wanted to play with it too. He asked Anna, "Can I play your flute?"
Anna said, "No, this is my flute. I don't want to share it. Go away."
Ben felt angry and sad. He waited until Anna was not looking and took her flute. He ran away with it and hid it under a bush.
Anna looked for her flute everywhere. She could not find it. She felt scared and sad. She started to weep. She cried and cried.
A girl named Lily saw Anna weeping. She asked her, "Why are you weeping?"
Anna said, "Someone took my flute. I can't find it. It was my favorite thing. I want it back."
Lily felt sorry for Anna. She said, "Don't weep. Maybe I can help you. Let's look for your flute together."
They looked for the flute in the garden. They saw a pink ribbon under a bush. They pulled the ribbon and found the flute.
Anna was happy. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You helped me find my flute."
Lily said, "You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you have your flute back. Can I play with it too?"
Anna said, "Yes, you can. I'm sorry I was mean to you before. I learned that sharing is good. Sharing makes friends."
They played the flute together and had fun.
The moral of the story is: Sharing is good. Sharing makes friends.
