Once upon a time there was a mommy, a daddy and their little girl, Rosie. Rosie was three years old and loved to have a tea-party. 
One day, she wanted to celebrate. She asked her mommy if she could tie a knot in a ribbon to hang from the ceiling. Mommy said yes and gave her a special ribbon. Rosie was so excited that she clapped her hands and jumped around.
Rosie tried to tie the knot, but she was too small and it was too difficult. She quickly got frustrated and started to cry. Daddy hugged Rosie and said, “Sweetheart, instead of getting frustrated it is better to take a break and try to do something small that you can do.” Rosie felt better and decided to try and make a paper heart. 
Rosie taped one end of the ribbon to the ceiling. She then danced around the room and held the other end of the ribbon in her hand. When she spun around too fast, she felt a bit dizzy, but still managed to tie a big knot in the ribbon. Mommy and Daddy clapped for Rosie and celebrated with her.
The moral of the story is to not give up when something is too hard. Take a break and do something else, then try again!
