Daeng Learns to Be Calm

One sunny day, Daeng, a 5-year-old boy with bright eyes, shouted, "Stop running so fast!" His friends were playing tag, and Daeng felt left behind. "Come back, I’m not done!" He didn’t want to play anymore and stomped his feet. Sometimes, Daeng felt angry when things didn’t go his way, like when his sister giggled at a silly joke or when Mummy said no to sweets.

Later, Daeng sat on the swing, still frowning. His friend Lily walked over and said, "You can swing with us!" Daeng thought about it. He took a deep breath and smiled, saying, "Okay! Let’s play!" He learned that it’s better to be calm and happy than to be mad. In the end, everyone played together, laughing and having fun.
