A <strong>Fair</strong> <strong>Turn</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>Flower</strong> <strong>Garden</strong>It was a cool, breezy day <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Daisy <strong>Flower</strong> <strong>Garden</strong>. The <strong>Flower</strong>Friends were ready to have some fun.“I have an idea,” Lupe <strong>the</strong> Lup<strong>in</strong>e told <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Flower</strong>Friends. “Let’s play a game of tag!”“I’d like to jump rope,” Gerri said.“Or maybe we could sw<strong>in</strong>g or go on <strong>the</strong> slide,”Clover said.“How about play<strong>in</strong>g hopscotch?” Tula asked. “I th<strong>in</strong>k thatwould be <strong>the</strong> most fun.”“All those games sound fun,” Lupe said. “Why don’t we taketurns?”“That sounds great,” Clover said. “Everyone will get a chanceto play <strong>the</strong> game <strong>the</strong>y like <strong>the</strong> most.”Rosie nodded. “I’m glad you came up with that idea, Lupe.It’s very fair!”“Okay, everyone!” Lupe said. “Let <strong>the</strong> games beg<strong>in</strong>. Gerri, whydon’t you go first?”Lupe grabbed one end of <strong>the</strong> jump rope. Tula grabbed <strong>the</strong>o<strong>the</strong>r end.“Jump, Gerri!” <strong>the</strong>y cried. “Jump! Jump!Jump!”
This present is for everyone, she thought. It wouldn’t be fair toeat some by myself. And it wouldn’t be honest to pretend I hadn’teaten any.She carried <strong>the</strong> box to where <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>Flower</strong> Friends wereplay<strong>in</strong>g.“Look what we got!” she called out. “Let’s all have a snack.”Everyone chatted and laughed as <strong>the</strong>y nibbled on differentk<strong>in</strong>ds of cheese.I’m so glad I waited to share this, Lupe thought as she watchedher friends hav<strong>in</strong>g a good time.It’s much more fun– and it’s fairer, too.
1 Talk about “Lupe’s <strong>Story</strong>”When did Lupe show that she was honest and fair?How do you th<strong>in</strong>k <strong>the</strong> <strong>Flower</strong> Friends would have felt if Lupehad opened <strong>the</strong> present without <strong>the</strong>m?

How did it feel?22Act out <strong>the</strong> story with your Daisy friends –each girl can take a different partIf <strong>the</strong>re are lots of girls <strong>in</strong> your group, you may have to act itout a couple of times so everyone gets a chance to play a part– that’s <strong>the</strong> fair th<strong>in</strong>g to do! How do you “fairly” choose whogets to play which part?
