Ido's Big Day
Ido, a courageous six-year-old, faces a big problem when he accidentally breaks his friend Alex's favorite toy. With obstacles and feelings of defeat, Ido learns the importance of honesty and friendship as he strives to make things right.
Ido was excited to play with his best friend Alex in their backyard. But as they played, Ido accidentally broke Alex’s new toy truck. Ido felt his heart sink. Alex looked at Ido with tears in his eyes. - Oh no, what have I done? Ido thought. - I’m sorry, Alex. I didn’t mean to, said Ido, trying to hold back his own tears.
Ido wanted to fix the toy before Alex got too upset, but he didn’t know how. He tried putting the pieces back together, but they wouldn’t stay. - Maybe my mom can help us, Alex suggested. But when they asked, she was busy with a phone call. Ido felt more worried than ever. He didn’t want Alex to be sad.
Ido and Alex searched the garage for tape or glue. But they couldn’t find anything that would fix the toy. - Maybe we can find something at the store, Alex said hopefully. Ido nodded, but he was nervous about telling Alex’s parents what happened. He didn’t want to get in trouble or make anyone mad.
Feeling hopeless, Ido sat on the porch steps. He thought about giving up and just going home. - I’m really sorry, Alex. Maybe we can play another day, Ido said quietly. But the thought of leaving his friend sad made Ido feel even worse. He wished he knew what to do.
Just then, Ido's older sister appeared. She heard what happened and had an idea. - Why don’t you tell the truth and ask for help? she suggested. Ido thought about it and realized it was the right thing to do. He took a deep breath and nodded.
Ido and Alex went inside to talk to Alex’s parents. - I accidentally broke the truck, Ido admitted. To his surprise, they weren’t angry. They thanked him for being honest and promised to help fix it. Ido felt relieved and happy. He learned that being honest was the best way to solve his big problem.
