THE STORY OF DUCK & GOOSE The Duck and the Goose Found an egg! They both wanted this egg. They fought over this egg.

But both of them were too stubborn to walk away from it.

But they didn’t want to work with one another because they thought they were both different from one another.

They both ended up sitting on the egg waiting for the little bird to hatch.

Sitting on the egg together made them have to do things together to pass the time.

After they had been sitting on the egg for a long time. The goose and duck decided that they would teach each other how to honk and quake.

They started to come together and Talk about THEIR egg!

BEING DIFFERENT Have you ever not

wanted to play with someone because they are “different” from you?

Have you felt that because you are “different” others don’t want to play with you?

How did that make you feel?

WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END OF THE STORY?

They became friends !!!!!!!! . Because they realized they liked to

do many of the same things.

THOUGHTS OF THE STORY

Has it changed your thinking about judging someone just on how they look?

What will you do differently so you are not unkind to others even if they don’t look the same as you?

GROUP Find a Partner in class that you have

never talked to before or don’t know very well.

someone that you think is different than you!!
