How it works
When something is not ours, we ask first.
To borrow means we use something for a while, and then give it back.
We say thank you, and we use gentle paws.
Worked examples
Ask first
- Kit wants to play with Bun's shiny blue car.
- It is Bun's car, so he does not grab it.
- He asks, Bun, may I play with your car, please?
Look after it
- Bun says yes, and Kit says thank you.
- He rolls the car slowly and carefully. He never throws it.
- Gentle paws keep a borrowed toy safe.
If it breaks
- A wheel comes off. It was an accident.
- Kit does not hide the car. He tells Bun, I am sorry, the wheel came off.
- Bun says thank you for telling me, and a grown-up helps fix it.
