It was Gabby's first day of Kindergarten and she was so excited to meet new friends!

Gabby's Mother gave her one of her stuffed dinosaurs in case she would be nervous

School was going great for Gabby until free time, when a child in her class asked if she could play with Gabby's dinosaur

Gabby really didn't want to, but she remembered what she was taught about sharing and said yes anyways. Gabby didn''t receive her dinosaur back until the end of the school day

Gabby cried the entire bus ride home and didn't want to talk to anyone

"How was your first day?!" Gabby's Mother exclaimed as she entered the door. 

Gabby stood there with a sad look on her face, and her mother became worried. "What happened baby?" her mother asked.

"Today at school one of my frends asked to play with my dino and I didn't want to give it to her" Whined Gabby. "Did she take it from you" Her mother asked

Gabby explained to her mother that she told the girl she could play with it because she didn't think she could say no because she was taught to share

"Oh baby, you can always say No even to a friend, it is important to share but you don't have to all of the time"

"What if they don't want to be my friend anymore?" Gabby asked. "Then you can find another friend that understands they can be told no and still be your friend" Answered her Mother.

The next day at school Gabby was a little nervous to talk to her friend if she asked for her toy again, but she remembered what her mother said and tried to think happy thoughts
