Children’s Story
One day, in a small city called Kingsburg in California there live a family
of four people. There are two parents with two children. One child is a girl
and the other is a girl also. The two children don’t get along very
well probably because of their age difference. Their parents think of everything,
trying to make them get along. When they have an idea they would write it
down on a piece of paper and later that day they would try it.
The five-year-old girl is named Tina, and the other seven-year-old daughter
is named Susan. One idea that the parents came up with is to take them both
to their Aunt Helen’s house, so that they can spend some quiet time
together in the playroom. The parents thought that they might just get along
if they get to play pirates or Robin Hood or some other game like that together.
It worked at first when they were playing Sleeping Beauty. But after awhile
they began arguing and arguing led to fighting. They were fighting about
who will be the witch and who will be the princess. The parents sighed and
had to go back to the drawing board. Another idea the parents came up with
that might just bring their two children to become civil with each other
is to assign Tina and Susan, to a project. Their project turned out to be
a Birthday card for their Aunt Helen.
That idea didn't work because Tina drew a heart on the top left corner of
the card, red and Susan wanted it to be blue. So they began fighting once
again. The parents sighed and tried again. The next idea for the children
is to switch places for a day. If they do this, they can find out something
interesting about each other.
At first, Tina and Armen thought that this idea was going to be fun but after
the day went by, they hated the idea because Tina went into her room and
Armen went into his room. When the parents said that they also had to switch
rooms for the night, the two kids started to cry. The parents started getting
very frustrated with this whole situation. After thinking for awhile, they
came up with a very simple and, at the same time, genius solution.
That simple solution was to politely ask Tina and Armen to participate and
really try to get along. The two parents told them what they were trying
to do for so long which was to try to make Tina and Susan to get along. Their
kids understood because they too were sick of fighting every day. About a
week later the two parents saw much improvement with their kids, and they
are now a very happy family.
