Story Telling!
Everyday the children who stay until 2:00 look forward to a 100% fruit juice popsicle. Sometimes we read a story or tell a story to the children as they enjoy their pop. On Friday Ally told the children the story of the "Three Little Pigs"; but Ally's version of the story had a very different but beautiful ending. Even though the wolf was a big bully and was not very nice to the three little pigs, at the end of Ally's story when the wolf can't blow down the third little pigs house he begins to cry. The pigs feel bad for him, come out of their house and ask him, "What's wrong, why are you crying?" "I am not good at anything but blowing down houses and I can't even do that!" The pigs came up with a great idea! "Wolf you can work at our cousins carnival blowing up balloons!" The wolf said, "Really you would do that for me, even though I was not nice to you?" "Yes of course we would like to help you and maybe we could become friends". So the wolf lived out his days working at the carnival blowing up balloons and became very good friends with the three little pigs.
THE END!
Rabbi Jay happen to be walking by as Ally was telling the story and sat down with us and listened for a little while. When Ally finished the story we talk to the children about how nice and kind the pigs were to the wolf even though he was not so nice to them. The lesson of the story is be yourself and even if someone is not treating right you can still do the right thing...And in this case the pigs helped the wolf find his "dream job" at the carnival, and as time went on they became friends.
