Read together
Once upon a time, in a land so bright,
Lived a little triangle, oh what a sight!
Its three sides were strong, and it stood up tall,
It was proud of itself, and it stood up for all.
One day, it met a teenager, who was feeling quite down,
"I'm just a small twig, lost in this town."
The triangle said, "Don't be sad my friend,
Let's ride on my tricycle and make a new trend!"
Off they went, down the road so green,
They saw a farmer on his tractor, what a scene!
He waved hello, and picked up the phone,
"Hello, hello, this is the farmer at home!"
The farmer then said, "I'm glad you're having fun,
But don't forget to brush your teeth when you're done!"
The triangle and twig smiled and nodded their head,
They thanked the farmer, and went off to bed.
So kids, remember this story, it's not too complex,
Take care of your teeth, ride your trike and flex!
And if you're ever feeling down or alone,
Just like the triangle, stand tall and strong on your own!
Talk about it
