The Story:

Ben and John were best FRIENDS. They did everything TOGETHER. They went to the same SCHOOL TOGETHER. They played soccer TOGETHER in the same team. They went to JOEY SCOUTS TOGETHER.

One day at JOEY SCOUTS, BILBY explained that all JOEY SCOUTS must do their best to CARE AND SHARE. Ben and John loved going to JOEY SCOUTS, and they started to think about what BILBY had said. “We need to think about ways that we can CARE AND SHARE, and so be good JOEY SCOUTS “, said Ben. “I know what we can do”, said John. “We can CARE AND SHARE by taking turns playing with our favourite toys”. “That’s a great idea”, said Ben.

At JOEY SCOUTS, BILBY talked about CARING AND SHARING at home, CARING AND SHARING at JOEY SCOUTS, CARING AND SHARING at SCHOOL, and CARING AND SHARING when playing with FRIENDS.

Ben and John normally only played with each other at SCHOOL. “I know another way to CARE AND SHARE”, said Ben. “We can invite kids at SCHOOL to play with us at lunchtime”. Ben and John TOGETHER did a great job of CARING AND SHARING.

The following week when they went back to JOEY SCOUTS they told all their FRIENDS what they had been doing to CARE AND SHARE. “That’s great”, said BILBY. “We will all get a good opportunity to CARE AND SHARE, as we are having a ‘Bring a FRIEND night’ soon, and we will be able to share our FRIENDS at JOEY SCOUTS. We are going to have a really fun night”, said BILBY.

Ben and John were excited. They were looking forward to another fun CARING AND SHARING night at JOEY SCOUTS TOGETHER.

Ben and John were good FRIENDS, and played well with each other at SCHOOL. “Who are we going to invite to JOEY SCOUTS”, said Ben. “I don’t know”, said John. Then they both had a great idea. “We can ask the new boy – Tom”, they both yelled out TOGETHER.

Tom was new to the SCHOOL and didn’t have many FRIENDS yet. He just sat quietly and ate his lunch – he didn’t join in the games that the other boys were playing. Tom was invited to JOEY SCOUTS – and he had a great night. Now Ben and John had something else to share – their new FRIEND Tom.
