พิม(Thinks for a few seconds) I guess I would feel pretty bad.
But they deserved it for what they did.
น้ำ No they didn’t. It’s not fair to others for you to always go first,
and always have the biggest cookie and always pretend to
be the smartest in the class. “To have a friend, you have to
be a friend”.
พิม I don’t understand what you mean by saying: “To have a
friend, you have to be a friend”.
น้ำ You can’t be mean to a friend and always have your own
way. To gain a friend, you have to treat the friend the same
way that you want to be treated.
พิม I have more fun, if I have my way.
น้ำ You are selfish. Your friends don’t like it. No one likes to
play with someone who acts selfish. You need to be more
generous.
พิม You mean I must learn to be kind to others. I guess you’re
right. It is terrible being lonely. I must be kind.
น้ำ Come on, I will play with you.
พิม You will?
น้ำ yes, let’s go on the slide!
พิม Me first!!! (Sanjana, looks at her in disbelief) Just kidding!
You go first!
KINDNESS
I have wept in the night,
For the shortness of sight;
That has led me to argue and fight,
For the selfishness that made me blind;
But I never have yet
Felt a tinge of regret,
For being a little too kind.
