The Prince Who Didn’t Take Care of His Toys

The prince played with many toys every day. When he received a new toy, the prince was very happy. But after playing for just a little while, toss! He did not put away the blocks, cars, or stuffed animals carefully.

🤔 If you toss a toy, what do you think might happen to it?

One day, when the prince tried to play... “Huh? The robot won’t move!” “The car won’t go! The train is broken too!” Because he had thrown and stepped on them roughly, all the toys could no longer be played with.

🤔 How do you think the prince feels right now?

The prince decided to try fixing the toys together with the craftsperson who had made them. The craftsperson said, “I worked very hard to make this car so you could play by making it run.” “I made this stuffed animal so you could hug it and feel safe.” The prince learned that toys have the feelings of the people who made them and an important purpose.

🤔 How would this toy be happy to be played with?

When the toys were fixed, the prince became very happy. The prince no longer throws or steps on them. After playing, he gently puts them back on the shelf. “Thank you. From now on, I’ll use you carefully.” When you take good care of toys, you can enjoy playing with them for a long time.

🤔 Where should we put toys back after playing with them?
