Mandarin Oranges
Efe is a selfish young boy who loves his father's mandarins, but never shares them with his classmates. When he misses out on a special chocolate treat at school, he learns a valuable lesson about sharing and friendship.
Efe loved the bright mandarins from his father's orchard. He ate them every day at school but never shared with anyone. His classmates, including Murathan, watched him with longing eyes. They often whispered, 'Why won't Efe ever share?' But Efe didn't notice their sadness.
One day, Efe fell sick and missed school. That day, Mrs. Yildiz, their teacher, surprised everyone with chocolates. When Efe returned, he noticed the chocolates and felt left out. Murathan shrugged, 'You missed a sweet day, Efe.' Efe felt a pang of regret for not sharing his mandarins before.
Efe wanted the chocolates but didn't know how to ask. He thought, 'They won't share with me, just like I never shared my mandarins.' His friends, though, noticed his sadness. 'Maybe we should share our chocolates with Efe,' Murathan suggested. The others nodded in agreement.
Efe decided it was too late to change things. He sat quietly, thinking about how he'd missed out. 'I guess I'll never have those chocolates,' he sighed. He felt embarrassed and guilty for his past selfishness. The thought of giving up made him feel even worse.
To his surprise, Murathan approached with a smile. ' - We saved some chocolates for you, Efe!' Murathan exclaimed. 'Really?' Efe's eyes widened with disbelief. ' - Of course! Friendship means sharing,' Murathan replied. Efe felt a warmth in his heart and realized he could change.
From that day, Efe brought extra mandarins for everyone. ' - Thank you for sharing,' his friends cheered. Efe felt happier than ever, and the classroom was filled with laughter and joy. ' - Sharing is fun!' Efe declared, finally understanding the joy of giving. His friendships blossomed, and Efe was never lonely again.
