Water: Then I will visit you. <1

Sun: Wonderful! Please holler loudly, so I hear
you when you arrive. Now I must dash home
quickly to start the work.

(Sun rushes home.)

Narrator: Sun and Moon raced to make S
their home larger. They added rooms and
raised the roof higher. The new house was
completely different and had no similarities
to their old home. They felt it was a victory,
or a win, for now their friend could visit.

Water: Sun and Moon, I have arrived!

Sun: Isn't this the largest home you've seen?

Moon: Sun, it's not polite to brag, so please
don't boast to our guest. Water, come inside.

Narrator: Water splashed through the door
carrying colorful fish, frogs, and crabs. As the
water began to rise, Sun and Moon climbed onto
furniture. Then they scrambled onto the roof.

Sun: Moon, I'm not sure about the wisdom of
inviting Water. Perhaps this wasn't a smart idea!

Moon: No, Sun, it was the right thing to do but
we must fly to safety!

Narrator: Sun and Moon flew to the sky,
where they remain today and still shine down

Essential Question

What do good citizens do?
Read about a boy who
chooses to be a good citizen.

My best friend Paul and I were excited to go
to the park after school. The park had a new fort.
The Parks Department let the kids choose what
kind of equipment to build, and the fort got the
most votes. After school, Mom and I met Paul
and his dad at the park.

Paul and I raced to the top of the tower. "I
win. I'm the champion," I shouted. "Look, Paul!
Someone left the newest GameMaster here. It's
mine now!"

Paul raised his eyebrows and looked
thoughtful. "Wyatt, you cannot keep
that GameMaster," he said. "You have a
responsibility to return it. It is your duty!"

I asked, "Haven't you ever heard the saying,
'finders keepers, losers weepers'? I have rights.
I found it, so I am claiming it."

Daniel Griffo "You can do whatever you want, Wyatt,
but you know it's wrong to keep it," Paul said.
Then he added, "Whenever there are issues
like this at school, you're the one who helps
solve the problems. Now you aren't taking your
own advice."

Then Paul added, "I volunteered my thoughts.
If you don't want to take the help I offered, there's
nothing I can do."

Paul was right. I couldn't keep the game
because it wasn't mine. The person who lost it
would be upset. I cleared my throat and said
in my best deep voice, "I've determined that
you're right!"

"I'm delighted you decided to do the right
thing," said Paul.

336

We told my mother what happened. She
walked around the park with us so we could
try to find the owner of the game. Soon we saw
a boy and his Mom looking for something. He
looked hopeless, and he burst into tears when
we asked him if the game was his. "Yes," he
wailed, "I lost my GameMaster a little while ago.
I should have been more careful!"

Afterward, Mom and I walked home. I was
glad I returned the toy to the boy. So, I made a
promise to myself to always try to do the right
thing. Now that is a vow I can keep!
