Riel and Charlotte's Summer Adventure
Riel and Charlotte, two curious nine-year-olds in Edmonton, embark on a summer adventure that challenges their tolerance and friendship as they prepare for Charlotte's birthday party at the lake. Along the way, they face obstacles and learn valuable lessons about understanding and accepting differences.
Riel and Charlotte were best friends living in Edmonton. They couldn't wait for summer vacation and Charlotte's birthday party at the lake. But there was a problem: Riel's cousin, Liam, was coming to visit, and he often teased Charlotte. Riel worried that Liam's teasing would ruin their summer and Charlotte's birthday. 'I just want us all to get along,' Riel sighed.
When Liam arrived, he immediately started teasing Charlotte about her favorite pink hat. 'Why do you always wear that silly hat?' Liam laughed. Charlotte's face turned red with embarrassment. Riel felt torn between his cousin and his best friend. 'Please stop, Liam,' Riel said, but Liam just shrugged.
The next day, they went to the park, but Liam continued to tease Charlotte. He mocked her love for birdwatching. 'Birds are so boring,' Liam scoffed. Charlotte's eyes filled with tears. Riel felt his heart sink. 'How can I make this stop?' he wondered. He tried to distract Liam with games, but nothing worked.
By the third day, Riel felt like giving up. 'Maybe we should just cancel the birthday party,' he said to Charlotte. Charlotte nodded sadly, 'I don't want to be teased anymore.' Riel felt defeated. 'Why can't Liam just be nice?' he thought. The weight of the problem felt too heavy to carry.
That evening, Riel’s grandma noticed his sadness and asked what was wrong. After hearing the story, she said, 'Riel, sometimes people tease because they don’t understand. Try talking to Liam about how it makes you feel.' The next day, Riel took a deep breath and said to Liam, 'It really hurts when you tease Charlotte. Can you please stop?'
To Riel's surprise, Liam looked thoughtful. 'I didn’t know it bothered you so much,' Liam said. He apologized to Charlotte and promised to be nicer. At the lake birthday party, everyone had fun together. Riel felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders. 'Thank you for understanding,' he said to Liam. 'I’m glad we talked,' Liam replied with a smile.
