Remember: The truth can be hard to say. Say what happened, say sorry, and help to fix it.

The blue mug

Read the story first.

Kit and the mugKit found his yellow ball under the sofa. His grown-up had said no ball games inside, but Kit gave the ball a little kick. Rex the pup chased it, and the ball hit the shelf. A blue mug fell and broke. Nobody had seen. Kit's heart went thump, and he had a knot in his tummy. He could say that Rex did it. Or he could tell the truth. Kit took a deep breath and went to the kitchen. "I broke the mug," he said. "I am sorry." His grown-up said, "Thank you for telling me the truth." Together they swept up the pieces, and the knot in Kit's tummy was gone.
