Happiness is Caring for Ourselves & Others

March 15 2023

Notes by Megha Munipalla

Story:

Once there was a penguin named Suman who only liked to eat junk food and sweets. One day his mom asked him to stop eating junk food and Suman agreed. He went to his room and noticed a brand new jar of jelly beans. Seeing the jellybeans he remembered how much he loved sweets. He went to eat his dinner and realized that he wasn’t hungry. He barely touched his dinner, so he went upstairs and eat his jelly beans. 

Many weeks later Suman the penguin was at the penguin mall to buy a penguin suit for a party. However, when he got to the store he was surprised to find that none of the suits fit him! His mother took him home a gently told him that she knew the reason that none of the suits fit was that he had disobeyed her and eat too many sweets. His mom suggested that he should stop eating junk food, eat healthier food, and exercise. When the time came for them to go back to the mall they found a beautiful suit for Suman to wear to the party. He realized that the suit did not just look good on him it looked good because of him. 

Moral:

This story teaches us to:

  1. Care for ourselves: We have to think about what is good for us tomorrow by remembering things like exercise and healthy eating. 
  2. Care for others: Be kind/respectful to others (Remember the Golden Rule!)

Activity:

The activity was to analyze situation given to us by Sumanji and discuss how the person could have cared better for themselves and others.

RAW:

This week’s raw is to care for yourself by finishing all of your meals.
