CHILDREN’S STORY

 There once was a princess named Li-Li

Princess Li-Li had a problem.

She used to cry for everything.

She cries in the morning

She cries in the night

She cries even when she’s sleeping

She cries all the time.

She cried so much her friends didn’t want to play with her anymore.

Princess Li-Li didn’t know what to do.

She went to the queen and said…

“Mommy, none of my friends want to talk to me. Why?” as she cried.

“It’s because you cry way too much. Instead of crying, use your words.”

Princess Li-Li took her advice and instead of crying she used her words

and everything was good again with Princess Li-Li.
