Once upon a time, there was a boy named Ralph who lived on an island with other boys. They have been stuck there for a long time and things were not going good.

We are stuck here forever!

Ralph was the leader of the group, but the boys were not working together. They fight a lot, and they couldn’t be friends. Ralph didn’t know what to do.

Stop fighting please!

One night, Ralph was getting ready to sleep. Ralph is really scared that bad things will happen if the boys keep fighting. He falls asleep and has a bad dream.

In Ralph's dream, he is in a forest with a lot of trees. Then, a man walks to him.

Who are you?

Hi Ralph, my name is Tombert. I'm here to help you. I’m going to teach you about three ways to be a better leader. They are called religions, and they will help you fix your problems.

Tombert teaches Ralph about a religion called Hinduism.

In Hinduism, we think that everything is connected. There is a special rule called "Karma". If you do good things, good things will come back to you, just like planting seeds that grow into beautiful flowers ("Hinduism").

Ralph thinks about what Tombert said. He is starting to know what Hinduism is about.

Tombert and Ralph walk together to a beach. Tombert teaches Ralph how Judaism can help him.

In Judaism, we believe in one special God who loves everyone. This God gave us special rules called the Ten Commandments. They teach us to be kind, to help others, and to always tell the truth ("Baron").

Wow! I think that's a really good idea.

Tombert teaches Ralph about Buddhism and how it can help him a lot to be a better leader.

In Buddhism, There is a special teaching called the Four Noble Truths. The first truth says that everyone feels sad sometimes, but the second truth says that if we are kind to ourselves and others, we can feel better (PBS). This is the last religion that I'm teaching you. They will help you with your problem. Always remember these rules and ideas!

Ok!

Ralph says thank you to Tombert for helping him so much and Tombert tells him good luck.

Thank you Tombert, for teaching me all of these good rules and ideas. I'm going to miss you!

I know you can do it! Good luck Ralph. Maybe I will see you again.
