The Lesson of Friendship: Overcoming Prejudice

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who lived in a big brownstone house in the city. She had many friends, but one day, a new family moved in next door and Lily noticed that they were different from her and her friends. They had different skin color and spoke a different language.

At first, Lily didn't know what to make of it and felt a bit uneasy around them. She had heard about something called "prejudice" from her parents and didn't want to be like that. So, she decided to learn more about them.

One day, as she was playing outside, she noticed that some of her friends were teasing the new family's children and calling them mean names. Lily was upset and wanted to stop it. She approached her friends and told them that it was not nice to pester others because they were different.

Lily also learned that the new family's children loved to play and have fun just like she did. They loved playing games, running around and even had similar interests. So, she asked them if they wanted to play with her and her friends. They happily agreed, and they all had a great time playing together.

As they played, Lily learned that the new family had moved to the city because the father had gotten a job at a big company. She also learned that the new family's children had different names, but they all had the same last name as their father, which was their family's namesake.

From that day on, Lily and her friends played with the new family's children every day, and they all became good friends. They learned that they were all the same, despite their different appearances and backgrounds. They didn't care about each other's status or where they came from. They just cared about having fun and enjoying each other's company.

The end.

Moral of the story: Don't judge someone based on their appearance or background. Instead, get to know them and learn about what makes them special and unique.
