Ready Freddy Learns to Share
Part 1: The Fire Truck Fiasco
Ready Freddy loved his red fire truck more than anything. It had flashing lights and made real siren sounds. One sunny afternoon, his friend Billy came over to play.
“Can I play with your fire truck?” Billy asked eagerly.
Freddy hugged his toy tightly. “No, it’s mine,” he replied.
Billy’s smile faded. “Okay,” he said softly, turning to play alone.
As Freddy played by himself, he noticed it wasn’t as fun without Billy. The sirens weren’t as exciting, and the lights didn’t shine as bright.
Part 2: Making Amends
The next day, Freddy knocked on Billy’s door.
“I’m sorry for not sharing my fire truck,” Freddy said. “Do you want to come over and play with it together?”
Billy’s face lit up. “Really? I’d love to!”
They spent the afternoon pretending to be firefighters, rescuing kittens from trees and putting out imaginary fires. Freddy realized that sharing made playtime more enjoyable.
Part 3: Helping a Stranger
Later that week, while playing in the park, Freddy saw a little girl crying.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“I lost my doll,” she sniffled.
Freddy remembered how sad he felt when he thought he’d lost his fire truck. “I’ll help you find it,” he offered.
They searched high and low until Freddy spotted the doll under a bench. The girl’s face beamed with joy as she hugged her doll tightly.
“Thank you!” she exclaimed.
Freddy felt a warm glow inside, knowing he’d helped someone in need.
Part 4: A Generous Heart
One day at the store, Freddy saw a boy looking longingly at a toy.
“Why don’t you get it?” Freddy asked.
“I don’t have enough money,” the boy replied sadly.
Freddy reached into his pocket and handed the boy some coins. “Here, you can have this.”
The boy’s eyes widened with gratitude. “Thank you so much!”
Freddy’s mom smiled proudly. “That was very kind of you.”
Freddy realized that sharing wasn’t just about toys—it was about kindness and making others happy.
