It was a fair sunny day, and three year old Emma was ready for her jog. She tied her sneakers tightly and started running. After going around the block twice, she felt tired and decided to take a quick break. Her friend Tom had arrived at the park and asked her to play tag with him.
Emma wanted to join, but she knew she had to stay focused on her jog. She gently said no; she couldn't accept his invitation, but she wanted to. However, Tom kept asking and Emma felt annoyed. She wanted to have some fun, but her jog was important too.
Tom kept insisting, so Emma decided to compromise. She said she would play tag with him, but only after she finished jogging. They agreed, and Tom waited. Finally, when Emma was done with her jog, they began playing tag.
They had a lot of fun, and they both felt happy afterwards. Emma was glad she accepted Tom's invitation; she was proud that she had been fair with herself and stuck to her goal first.
