Ben Learns to Accept 'No'
Join Ben, a funny and curious 3-year-old, on his adventure in New York as he learns the importance of accepting 'no' and discovering tolerance in everyday situations.
Ben lived in a bustling neighborhood in New York. He was always full of energy and loved exploring. One morning, Ben wanted to go to the park, but his mom said, "No, not today." Ben was puzzled and didn't understand why. His day suddenly seemed less exciting. How could he enjoy the day without visiting his favorite park?
Ben decided to ask his mom again. " - Can we please go to the park now?" Ben asked with big hopeful eyes. " - No, Ben, maybe another day," his mom replied gently. Ben's face fell, and he felt a little grumpy. He didn't like hearing 'no' and wasn't sure what to do next.
Ben saw his friend Max playing outside and ran to him. " - Let's go to the park!" Ben suggested. Max shook his head. " - I can't, my mom said no," he explained. Ben felt frustrated; another 'no'! They decided to play with their toy cars instead, but Ben's mind was still on the park.
After a while, Ben sat on the steps, feeling defeated. " - Why does everyone keep saying no?" he wondered aloud. Max shrugged, " - Maybe it's not time yet." Ben sighed, thinking maybe he should just give up on the park idea. He felt like he couldn't have fun unless he got his way.
Just then, Ben's grandma came by and sat next to him. " - Sometimes, 'no' helps us find new fun things," she said with a smile. " - Like what?" Ben asked. Grandma pointed to a colorful mural on the wall. " - Let's make up a story about it," she suggested. Ben's eyes lit up, and they began creating a magical tale together.
By the time they finished their story, Ben was laughing and having a great time. " - I guess 'no' isn't so bad after all," he admitted. His mom came over with a smile. " - See, Ben? There are always new things to enjoy," she said. Ben realized he didn't need to be at the park to have fun. He learned that sometimes 'no' just means a new adventure.
