Summary: This is the story of a grouchy ladybug who does not
like to share. He asks other insects if they want to fight to try and prove
just how tough he really is. However, each insect and animal he find, he tells
them they are too small. Each time the animals get bigger and bigger until he
gets to a whale. The whale hits him with his tail sending the ladybug back to
where he started from. The nice ladybug offered him food and he accepted
because he was so hungry. From that point on, he decided to be nice to
everyone.
I would use this in my classroom to show the importance of sharing.
I would also use this story to prove that bullying won’t get you anywhere. If
you are friendly to people, they will most likely be friendly back!
