Ben likes to play with his blocks. He has many blocks of different shapes and colors. He can make towers, houses, cars and animals with his blocks. He is very happy when he plays with his blocks.
One day, he meets a new boy in the park. The boy is called Sam. Sam also likes to play with blocks. He has a big bag of blocks with him. He says to Ben, "Do you want to play with me?"
Ben says, "Yes, I want to play with you. What do you want to make?"
Sam says, "I want to make a big square. A square is a shape with four sides that are all the same. Like this." He shows Ben a block that is a square.
Ben says, "I know what a square is. I have many squares too. Look." He shows Sam his blocks that are squares.
Sam says, "Your squares are bad. They are too small and too colorful. My squares are good. They are big and white. You have to use my squares to make a big square."
Ben says, "No, I don't have to use your squares. I like my squares. They are not bad. They are fun and pretty. You are bad. You are mean and bossy."
Sam says, "No, you are bad. You are silly and stupid. Give me your squares. I need them to make a big square."
Sam tries to grab Ben's blocks. Ben does not let him. He holds his blocks tight. He says, "No, these are my blocks. You can't have them. Go away."
Sam and Ben start to fight. They push and pull and shout. They are not happy. They are not friends.
A lady sees them. She is Ben's mom. She comes to them. She says, "Stop, stop, stop. What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
Ben and Sam stop fighting. They look at the lady. They are scared. They say, "Sorry, sorry, sorry."
The lady says, "You should not fight. You should share and be nice. You can play with both your blocks. You can make different shapes. You can have fun together. Do you understand?"
Ben and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, we understand."
The lady says, "Good. Now, say sorry to each other and shake hands."
Ben and Sam say sorry to each other and shake hands. They are not mad anymore. They are sorry.
The lady says, "Good. Now, you can play with your blocks. But be careful and gentle. Don't break them or hurt each other. OK?"
Ben and Sam say, "OK."
The lady smiles. She says, "Good. Have fun."
Ben and Sam start to play with their blocks. They make different shapes. They make a big square, a big circle, a big triangle and a big star. They use both their blocks. They are happy. They are friends.
