"The Friend"

Our church publishes a magazine for kids called "The Friend". It includes lots of short stories that teach kids good principles.

One such snippet included a picture of a girl, holding a candy bar outside a store and looking troubled. I asked the kids why she was sad and helped them notice the candy bar. Becca figured out first that she was sad "because she didn't have any money," and I asked if maybe she took the candy when she wasn't supposed to. I then asked the kids what she should do now. Little Michael's response was worth remembering: "She should give it to us." Then I asked if maybe she should take it back to the store. Michael agreed, but added, "Yeah, she should take it back to the store, so we can buy it."
