A GREAT DREAM
Rebecca saw her in the cafeteria several times eating by herself. Her name is Rachel and she is new in
school. Rachel’s family moved here from Nebraska and she started at Rebecca’s school in the middle of the
year and she didn’t know any of the other kids. Rebecca told her mom about how she eats alone and she
felt sorry for her. Her mom suggested that she take her lunch over to her table and eat with her and get to
know her.
The next day Rebecca did just that. Rachel seemed happy that someone else wanted to be with her. She was
shy and talked a little funny, but Rebecca and her got along well. Soon they were talking and laughing
together. Rachel also told Rebecca that her parents were looking
for a new church to attend.
Rebecca invited her to come to church
with her on Sunday.
After lunch, Rebecca’s friends
were teasing her about eating with the
new girl because she was different
than they were. They started mimicking
the way Rachel talked and Rebecca told them to stop and said that
Rachel was nice and that she
liked her.
A couple of weeks later one of
party and Rebecca said, “Hey,
at her and said, “No way” and
again. Then Rebecca said, “You
don’t even know her. I am her
her and be fair to her, then I won’t
she could invite Rachel, but not
Rebecca’s friends was having a slumber
let’s invite Rachel.” Her friends laughed
started mimicking how Rachel talks
are not being fair to her because you
friend, too. If you don’t want to invite
come either.” Then her friends told her
to expect them to be her friends, too.
Rachel was excited to come to the slumber party with Rebecca. At first the other girls ignored her until
they started playing a game and Rachel joined in and they started laughing at how she talked. Rebecca
looked at her friends and said she liked the way Rachel talked. Rachel smiled and said, “It’s okay Rebecca,
I think you all talk funny and I still like you. I bet I can win this game!” After that, all the girls became
friends with Rachel. Rebecca was happy that her friends were fair to Rachel and became her friends.
(Remember that this was a Great Dream and didn't really happen, but it could happen with Great Kids like you!)
