Pinky says NO

2021-22 6th Grade Public Purpose Books

This book is dedicated to my sister Khloe, Who can learn to say no just like Pinky.

IT’S PRINCIPAL PURPLE BOTTOM!!!!”Archie and Rosie screamed. Principal Purple Bottom was stomping angrily towards them when Archie and Rosie bolted out of the garden before he could see. BOOM Pinky was very, very, very, VERY UPSET! “Pinky what are you doing?” he shouted with red in his face. “Why are you cutting our beautiful roses!?!”&nbsp; “I’m… I’m sorry, but-” “NO,'' he said furiously. “You come with me.&nbsp;You are in big trouble young lady.”&nbsp; Pinky sulked to the principal's office&nbsp;and sat down in the BIG, RED, NAUGHTY chair.&nbsp;

Pinky went to school the next day confident NOT to make the same mistake again. It was the end of playtime and it was time to go in. Pinky started to walk away when Archie and Rosie came up to her. “Hey look, it's Pinky the naughty kid!” shouted Archie. “Ya, look we have a plan. Follow us,” Rosie demanded.&nbsp; Pinky started to give in and follow them, then she thought about what Ms. Sparkle told her. “Better choices,”&nbsp;she remembered. “NO” Pinky declared. “I won't go with you ever!” “I learned that even if you guys are my friends, I should always make good decisions ALL THE TIME!!!!” Pinky stormed off in delight and confidence knowing she made the right decision.

Always do the right thing even if your friends are not. ALWAYS make the BETTER CHOICE. &nbsp;

Pinky was very happy… well except when she was with her naughty friends Archie and Rosie.

“They are NOT good kids,” Pinky exclaimed. &nbsp;

The next day, Pinky felt better than ever. Then suddenly she was called to Principal Purple Bottom’s office.&nbsp;&nbsp; She got very nervous. She got in his office and was surprised by what she saw. The WHOLE staff of EEEville Bubble gum school was clapping for Pinky. She was delighted to see the teachers smile at her, but what for? What did Pinky do?&nbsp; “You took my advice correctly,” Ms. Sparkle said in a sweet voice. “You did the right thing and you made a BETTER CHOICE by leaving and going to class. You are very responsible, Pinky!&nbsp;That’s why we are giving you this badge for MOST RESPONSIBLE STUDENT to celebrate your good deeds,” explained Ms. Sparkle.&nbsp; They clapped as she walked back to class with her head held high and her big pink badge.&nbsp;

Pinky walked home thinking about what Ms. Sparkle told her. “Better choices,” she thought. “How could I have made a better choice?” she murmured under her breath. She got home and thought about it some more. “ Better choices,” she continued.&nbsp; Then she remembered what she told herself before. “I am NOT going to follow them this time!” Pinky knew how she was going to make things right the next day.

Once they put a LEGO on the teachers chair. He was upset.

Another time they put PAPER BALLS up Fregly’s NOSE. He was very, very upset.

Last Tuesday, they took Tilly’s cotton candy pudding and Kalee’s peanut butter and pickles sandwich.

They were very, very, very upset.

Just yesterday they cut the ears off of Johnny’s favorite elepus - an elephant, platypus mix, his favorite. He was very, very, very, VERY upset.

“I am not going to follow them this time,” Pinky said to herself. Then Archie and Rosie came in at playtime with a HORRIBLE plan. “I have an idea,” Archie said with an evil grin. “What is it?” asked Pinky.

“We are going to cut ALL the roses in the garden,” Rosie said wickedly.&nbsp; “What? You can’t! That’s wrong!” Pinky yelled, but they didn’t listen to her. She was about to leave, but Archie and Rosie had a pleading look on their faces. She couldn’t just leave them… could she? So, as always, Pinky stuck with them and helped them cut all the roses in the ENTIRE EEEville Bubble gum school garden. Archie and Rosie seemed to be having a ball, until something startled them in the distance.

Well hello, Ms. Pinky. What are you doing here? You rarely get in trouble,” Ms. Sparkle said with a smile. “I shouldn’t be here,”&nbsp; Pinky replied. “Archie and Rosie started it. I just followed along, they told me to.”&nbsp; “Well, Pinky,” Ms. Sparkle started to reply, “if you do not want to be in the naughty chair again, you must make better choices.”&nbsp; Pinky was confused about what Ms. Sparkle meant by “better choices” because she thought it wasn’t her fault. “Think about it,” Ms. Sparkle blurted out.&nbsp;

In the sunny town of EEEville, lived a tiny mouse named Pinky.

She loved to wear her favorite pink tutu and matching pink bow.
