Remember: Wanting, jealousy and being let down are all okay. Tell someone, wait, and save a little at a time.
The blue and yellow kite
Read the story first, then answer.
Kit and the kiteIt was Saturday, and the market was full of music. Kit had five story coins, pretend ones for this tale. In a shop window hung a blue and yellow kite. The card said twelve coins, but he had only five. Just then, Bun skipped over with the very same kite, a gift from her aunt. Kit's chest went tight. He walked back to his grown-up and said, "I want that kite, and I feel jealous of Bun." His grown-up listened and said, "Wanting something is normal, and so is feeling let down. We can still make a plan." Each week, a coin went into a jar. Waiting was hard, but at last the jar was full, and there were twelve coins. Kit felt proud.
