In the middle of the park one day
A kindly stranger came my way
He was funny, with a big grin
And a pocket full of powder, like a little djinn

He said, "Come along, let's have some fun!"
And I was excited, to go and run
Opposite to the slide we went
And got on the swings, with much intent

I looked at him curiously and asked, "What's this?"
He said, "It's a compact that makes you bliss"
He sprinkled some powder on my head
And suddenly, I felt like I could fly instead!

So we swung up high and back down low
Laughing and giggling, like we didn't know
That we were middle-aged and should act mature
But who cares? We were having an adventure for sure!

So kids, when a funny stranger comes your way
Remember to be careful and not to stray
But if he's kind and you feel safe
Go ahead and join him in his playful race!

Reflections

1. How did the kindly stranger make the child feel?
2. What did the kindly stranger use to make the child feel excited?
3. What did the child and the kindly stranger do in the park?
4. Why did the child feel like they could fly after the powder was sprinkled on their head?
5. Should you always trust strangers, even if they seem friendly?
