Fizz Takes a Turn
Ages 3–5Taking turns1 minute read
At the park, there is one red slide. Fizz the Frog LOVES the red slide.
Fizz hops to the front of the line. Boing! Down he goes. Wheee!
Fizz hops to the front again. Boing! Wheee!
Then Fizz sees Benny and Pip and Lulu, standing in the line. They are waiting... and waiting... and waiting.
Benny's face looks sad. Pip's flippers are droopy. Fizz feels a funny, wobbly feeling in his tummy.
"Oh," says Fizz. "I have been taking all the turns." Fizz hops to the back of the line.
Benny goes. Wheee! Pip goes. Wheee! Lulu goes. Wheee! Then it is Fizz's turn again.
Fizz finds out something surprising: waiting is easier when you cheer for your friends. "Go, Lulu, go!" And the wobbly feeling in his tummy is gone.
