Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Henry. He was very excited because his parents were taking him to the playground. Henry loved playing on the jungle gym and making new friends.

When Henry arrived at the playground, he saw other kids playing on the jungle gym. He joined them and started playing. But Henry was a little rough, and accidentally hurt one of the other kids. The kid started crying, and the other kids got scared.

Seeing the other kids getting hurt made Henry feel sad. He didn't want to hurt anyone, but he didn't know how to play nicely yet. The other kids didn't want to play with him anymore because they were afraid of getting hurt again.

Henry knew he needed help, so he went to his parents. He told them what happened and how sad he felt that the other kids didn't want to play with him. His parents listened carefully and understood his feelings.

Henry's parents explained to him that everyone has to learn how to get along with their friends. Even grown-ups sometimes have to make an effort to be good friends. They told Henry that he should appreciate the good things his friends say or do, and always say please when he needs something.

Henry's parents also taught him that if he made a mistake, he should say sorry. Saying sorry shows that he understands when he has done something wrong and that he wants to make things right. Henry realized that he should apologize to the kid he accidentally hurt.

Henry's parents noticed that sometimes Henry got too excited and rushed into things without thinking. They taught him a trick to help him control his impatience. They told him to take a deep breath and count to four, and then repeat it if he was feeling rushed.

Armed with his parents' advice, Henry was ready to try again. The next time he went to the playground, he remembered to appreciate his friends for playing with him. He said please when he needed something, and he apologized if he made a mistake.

When Henry saw the kid he accidentally hurt, he went up to them and sincerely apologized. He told them that he didn't mean to hurt them and that he had learned to be more careful. The kid accepted his apology and they became friends.

Henry realized how important it was to appreciate his friends. Whenever they did something nice or played together, he would say thank you and let them know how much he enjoyed their company. This made his friends feel happy and appreciated.

As Henry continued to practice being a good friend, he noticed that more and more kids wanted to play with him. They saw how much he had changed and how much fun it was to be around him. Henry was happy to have so many new friends.

Henry was grateful to his parents for giving him such helpful advice. Their words had made a big difference in his life. He thanked his parents for teaching him how to be a good friend, and he thanked his friends for playing with him and accepting him.
