Dilly was tired
of waiting.
She walked
away from
Manny.
She was
very sad.
Manny felt
sad too. He
ran to Dilly.

I did not take turns

Dilly and Manny
thought about
how to solve the
problem.
Play soccer!
They were both
happy they
found a game
they could play
together.
I did not take turns
either. I am sorry too.
I know! Let’s play
soccer together.
