  One afternoon, the little squirrel found a big apple on the grass in the forest.

  This apple was so big and fragrant that the little squirrel had never seen it before and believed that it would be hard to find such a delicious apple inside the whole forest.

  When the squirrel was admiring the big apple, his good friend the white rabbit happened to pass by and saw the apple, the white rabbit wanted to try the apple and suggested that we share it.

  But the squirrel said selfishly, "I can't even share this sweet and fragrant apple with you. Besides, we are not good friends, are we?"

  Hearing these words, the white rabbit left sadly. Because the apple was too fragrant, the little monkey, the little pig, the little elephant, and the little cat also came to the little squirrel, hoping to share the apple with him, and they even took out their most beloved things to exchange with him, but unfortunately, all were refused by the little squirrel.

  Finally, the little squirrel felt that everyone was too annoying, so he ran to a cave far away, ready to avoid other friends, alone to eat the apple.

  When the squirrel took the first bite, he felt that the apple tasted too good! He couldn't resist taking one bite after another and kept eating this delicious and fragrant apple. But this apple is too big, when the squirrel eats half of the time, his stomach has swollen like a ball, really can not eat the rest of the half.

  But the little squirrel said to himself: "so hard to enjoy the apple alone, no matter how hard, but also to eat it all, can not be shared with other friends!"

  So, the little squirrel continued to work hard, biting the apple one by one, and after an hour or so, the apple opened and finished eating. But because he had eaten too much, the little squirrel's stomach began to hurt, and finally could not even walk, moaning in pain in the cave.

  The white rabbit in the distance heard the squirrel's cry and searched around the mountain, and it took a whole night to save the squirrel who had fainted in the cave.

  When the squirrel woke up, he learned that the white rabbit had saved him and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me! But I was so selfish, why did you save me?"

  The white rabbit smiled and said, "Because we are good friends!"

  Children, this story tells us that to get the care and love of our friends, we must first care and love our friends. When you have something good, you should share it with your good friends. For example, if you have delicious food, you should take it out and eat it with your friends; if you have fun toys, you should take them out and play with your friends. Very often, sharing the same thing with others is happier than enjoying it alone; on the contrary, a selfish person, who only cares about his interests and ignores the feelings of others, will become an unwelcome person.

  Children, do you want to be a person who shares with others and is liked by everyone, or a selfish person who is hated by everyone?

The white rabbit and the little mole share the watermelon animal story

  Summer is here and the watermelon that the White Rabbit and the Little Mole planted together is ripe and round and so happy to look at!

  The little white rabbit and the little mole worked together to pick the watermelon down, at which time the little white rabbit said, "This watermelon should be given to me to eat because I planted the seedling."

  The little mole was not to be outdone. She said, "I fertilized the watermelon!"

  The little white rabbit said, "Hmph! I'm the one who watered the watermelon."

  The little mole shouted, "I weeded the watermelon!"

  They were arguing and neither of them would let the other go.

  When the neighbor, Aunt Hen, saw them, she asked, "Why are you arguing?"

  The little white rabbit and the little mole told the aunt what had happened.

  She laughed and said, "Friends should share, not be so selfish!"

  The little white rabbit and the little mole both bowed their heads in shame as they listened to what the hen said.

  After a while, the little white rabbit said, "You can have this watermelon.

  The little mole said, "No, no, no, you should eat it!"

  Aunt Hen said, "Don't argue! I have a good idea to cut the watermelon into two, so you can both eat it."

  The little white rabbit said, "Yes, that's right! Why didn't I think of that?"

  The little mole said, "Auntie Hen is so smart!" They all laughed happily.

  Children, good friends should be the closest people besides your family, so why should good friends bother so much about each other? There are good things to share, and unhappy things to tell each other after it becomes a small thing. No matter what kind of feelings, it is necessary to operate with care, if you lose a friend because of a little thing, it is too scratchy yo~.
