Addy Learns to be Kind

As I was coming over to play with her, she struck out a stinger and stung me,” Meagan whispered angrily.&nbsp;As Addy was floating away she turned herself invisible so that Mrs. Carlson could not see her.&nbsp;

&nbsp;As Meagan was swimming over, Addy stuck one of her stingers, which was about the size of two giraffes stacked up and stung Meagan.

“Addy! Do you realize what you have done! You are in so much trouble!” yelled Mrs. Carlson angrily.&nbsp; “I am very sorry for what I have done. I was just jealous that she was so nice to everybody and has so many friends. I just wish I could be like her,” Addy said with continuous streams of tears running down her cheeks.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Addy did not have many friends because she was mean to people. She did not like recess that much because nobody ever wanted to play with her. She thought that all of her classmates didn’t like her because she is 98 percent water, considered a Man O' War, and has no heart or brain.

“I understand and I'm so glad that you apologized, but it isn’t me that you should be apologizing to. You need to apologize to Meagan. If you truly want to have more friends you just need to put others first. You don’t always have to be the line leader and you can be nicer to people. God says that we should be kind to others and we shouldn’t be jealous of anybody or anything,” Mrs. Carlson said with compassion in her voice. “Ok, I will apologize to Meagan for what I did to her,” Addy said.&nbsp;

“Addy! Addy, where are you?! Addy, is that you?” Mrs. Carlson said.

Mrs. Carlson, Addy and Meagan’s teacher, heard Meagan crying and ran over to her.&nbsp; “What happened?” said Mrs. Carlson with a worried look on her face.

Ringggggg! Rang the bell at Coral Reef Elementary which dismissed the animals to recess. It was a beautiful day on the Eastern Coast of Australia and Addy wanted to be first. “Move out of my way!”&nbsp;yelled Addy the jellyfish.

As the bell rang to call the class in for recess the girls swam and floated in together and went to sit together for lunch. Addy was so excited that she had somebody to eat lunch with! The girls then started eating their plankton and eggs giggling along the entire time.&nbsp;

“Meagan! I’m so happy you are ok!” cried Addy. “I am so sorry for what I did to you. I promise that I will never do that again and I will start being nice to you. I hope you can forgive me,” wailed Addy. “Addy, of course, I will forgive you!” exclaimed Meagan.

As they went out to the playground in the salty water Addy called Meagan over to play with her. Meagan felt bad for Addy that she did not have any friends to play with so Meagan swam over to her.

Meagan the seahorse was at the front of the line. “Get to the back of the line, Meagan! You do not deserve to be first! You are not as amazing as me! I am always first no matter what! I'm the prettiest Blue Jellyfish with a purple color!” screamed Addy.

Meagan fell to the ground and started crying! “Stop crying right now before you get me in trouble!” said Addy to Meagan, but Meagan continued to cry and Addy floated away as fast as she could.
