Ben's Big Adventure in Rio
Join Ben, a funny and curious five-year-old, on his adventure in Rio de Janeiro where he learns the importance of tolerance. Ben's longing to make new friends is challenged by a series of obstacles, teaching him valuable lessons about understanding and accepting differences.
Ben was excited to start school in Rio de Janeiro, but he felt nervous about making new friends. His mom said, - You'll make lots of friends, just be yourself! But Ben noticed that everyone looked different and spoke differently, making him unsure. He wondered if they would like him with his curly hair and blue glasses.
On his first day, Ben wanted to play soccer with the other kids, but they were speaking Portuguese! - How can I ask to join if I don't understand them? Ben wondered. He felt left out and sad, watching them play without him. He tried to join in, but they didn't notice him.
Ben tried to play tag with another group, but they were playing a different game he didn't know. He felt confused and ran back to the bench, feeling like he'd never fit in. - Why is it so hard to make friends? he sighed. Ben decided to sit alone and draw instead, feeling a little defeated.
Ben was ready to give up trying to make friends. He thought maybe he should just stay to himself. - I guess no one wants to play with me, he said sadly. He missed his old friends and felt like he didn't belong in Rio.
Just then, a girl named Ana noticed Ben's drawing and came over. - Wow, that's a cool drawing! she said. Ben smiled and felt hopeful. Ana taught him some Portuguese words, and they laughed together. Ben realized he didn't have to speak perfectly to make friends.
With Ana's help, Ben joined the games and made more friends. - Thanks for helping me, Ana! Ben said happily. He felt accepted and learned that being different was okay. Ben's adventure in Rio taught him that everyone is unique, and that's what makes friendships special.
