Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small car. They share and have fun.
One day, they hear a loud noise. They see a big plane in the sky. The plane drops a big bomb. The bomb makes a big fire and a big smoke. Tim and Jen are scared. They run to their moms.
"Mom, what is that?" Tim asks.
"That is a war, Tim. A war is when people fight and hurt each other. It is very bad," Tim's mom says.
"Why do people fight, mom?" Jen asks.
"Sometimes people fight because they are angry or greedy or afraid. They do not know how to be kind and share and have fun. They do not have great friends like you and Tim," Jen's mom says.
Tim and Jen hug their moms. They worry about the war. They worry about the people who are hurt. They worry about the park and the ball and the car.
"Mom, can we do something to stop the war?" Tim asks.
"Well, we can pray and hope and love. We can be great friends to each other and to everyone. We can show people how to be kind and share and have fun. Maybe then they will stop fighting and start playing," Tim's mom says.
Tim and Jen smile. They like that idea. They pray and hope and love. They are great friends. They want to play. They want peace.
