A Journey to a New Place
Sonia, a courageous young girl, embarks on an adventure from Poland to India, discovering the wonders of different cultures. Faced with the challenge of understanding and appreciating these differences, Sonia learns that wisdom comes from embracing diversity and looking beyond appearances.
Sonia was excited when her parents told her they were moving from Poland to India. But she was also worried. " - Will I make new friends?" Sonia asked her mom. She felt a little scared about the new place and different people. Sonia wanted to learn everything about India but didn't know where to start. This was her big problem.
On their first day in India, Sonia tried to say 'hello' to a group of children, but they didn't understand her Polish words. " - Why don't they say 'cześć' back?" Sonia wondered aloud. She felt like she was speaking a secret language that no one else knew. Sonia's heart sank as she realized she couldn't play with them the way she wanted. This was her first obstacle.
Sonia decided to join a game of hopscotch, but the rules were different. She stumbled and fell. " - Oh no!" Sonia exclaimed, feeling embarrassed. She tried to follow along, but it seemed even harder than before. Sonia felt like giving up on making friends. It was a tough day with more obstacles than she expected.
Sonia sat on the steps of her new home, feeling very sad. " - Maybe I'll never fit in here," she sighed. She missed her friends back in Poland and wished things could be the same. Sonia thought about giving up on trying to make new friends. It felt like a huge mountain she couldn't climb.
Just then, a kind old lady from next door came over. " - Would you like to learn how to say 'hello' in Hindi?" she asked with a warm smile. Sonia's eyes lit up with hope. " - Yes, please!" Sonia replied eagerly. The lady taught Sonia a few words, and suddenly, everything seemed a little brighter. Sonia had found a solution to her problem.
With her new words, Sonia said 'namaste' to the children and they smiled back. " - Come play with us!" they said, inviting her to join their game. Sonia felt a rush of happiness as she joined in. She realized that understanding each other was the key to making friends. Sonia's heart was full, knowing she had overcome her big problem and learned something valuable.
