- Why don't they want to play with me? Liana asked. Her mom looked at her gently. - Sometimes people need time to get to know someone new, she said. - But I just want to play, Liana said with tears in her eyes. - Let's try one more time, her mom suggested.
Liana sees a boy sitting alone on a swing. She walks over. - Hi, my name is Liana, she said. The boy smiles shyly. - Do you want to play with me? Liana asked. The boy nods and they start playing together.
Soon, other kids see Liana and the boy laughing and having fun. They come over and ask to join. - Can we play too? one of the kids asked. - Yes, everyone can play, Liana said happily. Liana learns that being patient and kind helps make new friends.
