Lara was a beauty rabbit who lived in a nice and big farm.

         Lara was quite busy this week because she would celebrate her birthday over on the weekend. Her family always prepare a nice and big party for her and also invite all the animals from the farm and the jungle.

         Lara was very excited with all the presents she would get because she knew that each animal was preparing one handmade gift special for her.
         Everyone was really happy at Lara’s party! Many animals came and enjoyed playing together!

         Lara was so happy that she asked her mum to invite her friends to come over on the next day, which she agreed. They decided that each one would bring their favourite toy to Lara’s house. As soon as they arrived, they saw Lara playing alone surrounded by many toys.

         “Hi Lara, look what we brought to share!” - the butterfly said.
         “I brought my face painting, so we can pretend to be any animal we want” - the little hippo said.
         “I brought my car, we can share it” - the elephant said
         “And I brought my ball; we can play a nice ball game!”

         But Lara didn’t want to share; she wanted to have everything for herself only. She didn’t want to share her toys with anyone.
         “No, they are all mine, don’t touch them.” – said Lara.
         She took all the new toys back from her friends’ hands.
         “But Lara, all of us brought our favourite toys to play with you.
         “We agreed yesterday.” – the Butterfly said.
         “Lara, we will have a nice time with all the toys if you share. Everyone is here again to play.” - the elephant said,

         But Lara didn’t want to listen so she yelled: “I don’t want it. They are mine; all mine.”
         Poor friends, they all left Lara’s house feeling very sad, because they really wanted to play together as a big group of friends. The little bird, who always had great ideas, said: “Let’s all play together anyway. We can share between us and make our game become the best ever”.
         Everyone liked the idea and, in a blink of eye, they were playing and having a lot of fun!
         “Hey grab the ball!
         “Look at hippo, he just became a butterfly!”
         HAHAHAHA
         Lara started to listen to their laughs and realised they were all having a lot of fun together. Lara had already got bored of playing with all her new toys alone and she started to think: “So, what to do now? I didn’t want to share and now I am alone with my toys and feeling sad.”

         So, she started to cry. Lara really wanted to go there, however she didn’t know if they would accept her back.

         Her mum, who was around, heard Lara crying.
         “What happened?” Said Mrs Rabbit
         “Oh mum, I asked my friends to leave but I am all alone now.
         But why did you ask them to leave Lara?
         Because I didn’t want to share my new toys with them. I wanted all toys for me, but now I am bored to play and stay alone. What should I do now mum?
         “Dear Lara, I am very proud of you because you realised your mistake.
         You are right to say the gifts are yours, however we learn to share what we have. We also learn that we should treat other people the way you want to be treated. So, if you want friends who share and play together with you it means you should share with them as well.

         Lara decided to grab all her new toys in a big bag and went to see her friends.
         “Lara dear, don’t forget to apologise for your mistake and say honestly how much you really want to play with them.”
         Lara gave thanks to her mother and run towards the lake.
         Lara was very shy when she first arrived; she tried to talk, but no one could hear her. Suddenly, the little crab saw Lara: “Oh, what are you carrying Lara, in that huge bag?” - said the crab.

         “Oh guys, I came here to say sorry for what I did previously with all of you. I really wanted to apologise so I brought all my toys for us to play together! Would you accept my apology?”

         “Oh Lara for sure, come and join us, as we said before we will have much more fun when you play together and share!”
         Lara and her friends had an amazing time!
         Lara and her friends learnt the goodness of sharing and forgiveness!
