Story
Khadija was drawing with crayons. As she reached for one, her elbow bumped her friend’s paper.
The paper fell to the floor.
Her friend looked sad.
Khadija froze for a moment. Then she looked at her friend and said softly, “I’m sorry.”
Her teacher came over and smiled gently. “That was good. When we make a mistake, we can say sorry.”
Khadija helped pick up the paper. Then she handed her friend a crayon.
Her friend smiled again.
Khadija felt better. She had made a mistake, but she had also done something good after it.
Later, she remembered: making a mistake is not the end. We can fix it with honesty and kindness.
She whispered to herself, “I can say sorry.”
