Square That Liked To Be Messy
Once there was a
square that liked to be
messy. The square never
washed its hands before it
ate.
When the square chewed
its food, it never closed its
mouth, and that made ail the
others upset because it looked
ugly.
mm
When it sat at the table, it would
always Jump around and bump into its
neighbors and yell.
t grabbed food and never said please or
The messy square would spill milk all
over and splash food around on the
table. This behavior made the others
angry! The others never liked to sit near
it.
Soon it began to wash its hands, sit
quietly, pour milk and serve food care
fully, and chew with its mouth closed,
this behavior made everyone happy,
and they all liked eating with the square
again.
