Rosa Learns about Forgiveness

Rosa and Ana were best friends.

But sometimes they didn’t get along.

“I don’t want to play with you,” Ana told Rosa. “You’re not my best friend anymore.”

“You’re mean,” Rosa told Ana. “You hurt my feelings.”

“You’re a baby,” said Ana. And Ana walked away, leaving her best friend crying.

Rosa walked home. She was very mad at Ana. But she was sad too.

She thought about all the fun things she and Ana did together. Like making mud pies. Or hopping races. Sleepovers. And playing dress-up.

When Rosa got home, Ana was waiting for her. “I’m sorry I was mean to you. You’re my best friend. I don’t want to hurt your feelings ever again,” Ana said.

“I’m so glad you said you were sorry,” said Rosa. “I love you Ana!”

And that’s how Rosa and Ana learned about forgiveness.
