Story
Suleiman stood in line for his turn. In front of him, two other children were waiting too.
He wanted to go first. His feet moved a little. His hands almost reached forward.
Then he heard his teacher say, “Wait patiently.”
Suleiman took a breath.
He stood still. He kept his hands to himself. He watched the line move one child at a time.
It felt a little hard, but he stayed calm.
Soon, it was his turn.
His teacher smiled and said, “You waited patiently. Well done.”
Suleiman smiled proudly. Waiting had been hard for a moment, but he had done it.
Now he knew that patience means staying calm and waiting in a good way.
He whispered, “I can wait patiently.”
