The Beautiful “No”

Bluebird and Mourning Dove love to play.

They play in the meadow.

They play near the pond.

They play around the tree.

 

One day Bluebird wanted to fly to the far away pond with Mourning Dove by their side.

 

When Mourning Dove thought of flying so far away their need for safety and security came up.

Mourning Dove began to feel very scared and very sad.

Mourning Dove said “I think the far away pond is just too far away for me.”

 

Bluebird grieved.

 

Bluebird really thought that flying to far away pond would meet their need for adventure today

 

After some time Bluebird had a new idea

“what if we fly to the flowery meadow?” Bluebird exclaimed

“that sounds fun for me!” said Morning Dove

So together they flew, just a little far away

 

That day they learned that it’s okay to say no

and by sharing their needs they found a new way to play

and that’s what we call a beautiful no

when we stand up for our needs

without saying mean things.
