Our New House
Mendele, a sensitive seven-year-old, faces the challenge of moving to a new house in Brazil. He struggles with accepting the change and getting along with his new neighbors. Throughout the journey, Mendele learns the importance of tolerance and embracing new experiences.
Mendele and his family were moving into a new, spacious house in Brazil. He was excited, but also worried about leaving his old home and friends behind. As they arrived, he saw the big, colorful houses in his new neighborhood. But Mendele felt nervous about making new friends. He whispered to his mom, " - What if they don't like me?"
Mendele's first obstacle was meeting the neighbor kids. They were playing soccer in the street, and he wanted to join. But when he approached them, he froze, unsure of what to say. " - Can I play too?" he finally asked, but his voice was barely a whisper. The kids didn't hear him, and he felt invisible.
The next day, Mendele tried again. He brought his favorite toy to show the neighbor kids, hoping it would help. But they were too busy with their game to notice. When he tried to speak, his words caught in his throat. He sat on the sidewalk, feeling left out. " - Why won't they talk to me?" he wondered aloud.
After several tries, Mendele felt like giving up. He sat in his room, staring out the window at the other kids having fun. " - Maybe I'll never fit in," he sighed to his sister. She sat next to him, offering a comforting hug. Mendele felt a little better, but the problem still seemed too big.
One afternoon, Mendele's dad noticed his struggle and gave him advice. " - Why not invite them over for a snack?" he suggested. Mendele hesitated, then nodded. He invited the kids over, offering some delicious Brazilian treats his mom made. As they shared food and laughter, the ice finally broke.
Mendele's plan worked, and soon he was laughing and playing with his new friends. He realized they weren't so different after all. " - I'm glad we moved here," he told his mom one evening. The kids now included him in their games, and he felt at home. He learned that tolerance opened the door to new friendships.
