Once upon a time, there was a little worm named Wriggly. He lived in the soil and loved to play. Usually, he would wriggle around and tickle all the other bugs and insects. He found it so much fun to make them giggle and smile.

One day, he met a new friend who wasn't ticklish at all. Wriggly tried to tickle him, but he just wouldn't giggle. Wriggly was so surprised! He didn't know anyone who wasn't ticklish. So, he decided to ask his friend why. His friend told him that he was a beetle and beetles usually aren't ticklish.

Wriggly learned something new that day and realized that every bug is different and special in their own way. From then on, he still liked to tickle and wriggle, but he also made sure to treat all his friends with respect and not judge them based on whether they were ticklish or not. The end.

Reflections

1. How did Wriggly feel about not being able to tickle his new friend?
2. What did Wriggly learn about bugs and insects from his friend?
3. Why is it important to treat everyone with respect, even if they are different from you?
4. How do you think Wriggly's friends felt about him after he learned about respecting differences?
5. Can you think of a time when you learned something new about someone?
