Brushy writes a prize-winning poem for the school safety contests:
“It isn’t enough just to know every rule,
You should practice them all, for real safety at school.”
Sharing and taking turns with others can be the best way to play and Brushy and Susie-Q show us what happens when you don’t play this way. They never had any fun because they fought over things they wanted to play with. But, mother taught them by sharing they could each have more fun.
