Hanna's Visit at the Pool
Hanna, a 12-year-old adventurer, visits a pool in New York and encounters a problem with intolerance. Through a series of obstacles and moments of doubt, she learns a valuable lesson about tolerance and acceptance.
Hanna was excited to visit the local pool in New York. She put on her swimsuit, then slipped into a t-shirt and leggings. But as she arrived, she noticed a group of kids whispering and pointing at a girl named Bea. Bea looked different, and the kids were making fun of her. Hanna felt sad and uncomfortable. She wanted to help, but she didn't know how.
Hanna decided to approach Bea and introduce herself. The other kids started to giggle louder. Hanna's heart raced. She felt nervous. Bea looked at her with hopeful eyes. Hanna took a deep breath.
- Hi, I'm Hanna, she said. - Do you want to play with me? Bea smiled and nodded. But then, one of the kids shouted, - Why are you playing with her? She's weird! Hanna felt a lump in her throat. She wanted to defend Bea but felt scared.
The kids' comments became harsher, and Hanna started to feel overwhelmed. She wondered if she should just give up and join the other kids. - Maybe they're right, she thought. - Maybe it's easier to just fit in. Bea looked down, hurt and rejected.
Just then, a lifeguard named Mr. Thompson noticed what was happening. He walked over and said, - Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness. Hanna realized she had to stand up for Bea. - We should all be friends, she said, her voice trembling but determined. The other kids started to listen.
Hanna and Bea continued to play, and gradually, the other kids joined them. They laughed and splashed around, realizing how much fun they could have together. Hanna felt proud for standing up and making a difference. She learned that tolerance and acceptance could lead to wonderful friendships.
