The Care of Friendship




Here is a very sweet story of friendship, and the thoughfulness of children.  

Two girls both went to sit in the same purple chair at the snack table but as one got there first, the other was very sad and began to cry.  Noticing this from across the room, a boy, without saying anything, went to the other side of the table, got another purple chair, picked it up and moved it around beside the first one.  

Coming back  to the art table where he had been drawing he said to the teacher "I switched the chair". 
Teacher:  "That was nice of you."
Boy: "I know it was"

At the art table he is trying to remember what a peacock looks like so he can draw one.  The girl that he helped says she can show him, and so she stays to draw instead of having snack, even though she can't really remember what one looks like either.

Boy: "You're gonna be invited to my birthday party"
Noticing her drawing he says: "That looks beautiful"
Girl: "Thanks"
