Notes by Kirtish Sivakumaran

Review: 

A son and his wife were treating their father quite badly. They were quite upset about the way that their father ate his food; spilling it all the time and breaking his bowl. But it was not his fault. However soon enough, the couple realized that their son was making something. When they asked him what he was making, he said “I am making a bowl because when you are older, you will eat in this bowl and you will sit in the corner, just like grandpa.” Ever since then, the couple had their grandfather sit at their own table and they weren’t upset anymore about the way that Grandpa ate. The lesson you can learn from this is that whatever you will do, you will get it back in some way or the other. Also, the RAW from last week was to take a rubber band and every time you have a bad thought, you should take the rubber band and snap it on your skin. OUCH.

STORY:

 Once there was a penguin named Suman. Suman the penguin loved to eat jelly beans, candy and more jelly beans! One day Suman’s mom said to Suman, “Suman, you should really stop eating jelly beans and candy.” Suman said, “OK mom.” Inside his room, he took out a big bag of jelly beans and started to eat! Later, at dinner, Suman did not feel like eating. He ate a little of his mom’s food and thought “Mom makes food every day. It’s okay if I don’t eat it. Plus, I have a lot of jelly beans in my bedroom cabinet!”  So, Suman the penguin went to his room, devoured some jelly beans, and fell fast asleep. The next day, Suman got a letter. He was invited to a party! So, his mom took him to the PENGUIN SUIT STORE to get a suit for Suman to wear at the party. But when Suman tried out the nicest suits he could find, none of them fit him! Suman just yelled out, “Mom! None of these suits are fitting me! Then what should I wear at the party?” Suman’s mom just smiled and said to Suman, “Come. Let’s go home and have a little talk.” When they arrived at home, Suman’s mom said, “I know what you could do to fit into those penguin suits. There are three things you could do to solve your problem. The first thing is that you should stop eating jelly beans and junk food, like those jelly beans you have in your nightstand drawer. Then she said that maybe Suman should eat healthy foods like veggies and fruits. She also said he can do exercise. Eventually, when Suman the Penguin finished doing all that, he went to the penguin store and his new penguin suit fit him perfectly.

LESSON: 

The lesson was that you should always eat healthy, exercise, and always listen to your parent’s advice, and you should not eat too much of anything. You should always care for yourself and for others. We also learned about the first C out of the 3 C’s, which is compassion. 

RAW:

You should finish whatever you have on your plate, whether you like it or not.
