A lesson about why you should always keep your hands to yourself.

By: Jason Gold

Once upon a time, there was a kid named Steve. He was as tall as Godzilla. His favorite sport was football, and he was always filled with joy. However, he is now angry and in trouble because he can’t control his emotions.

“I’m always getting into trouble, and I don’t like it,” said Steve. “I hate my life.”

One day, a new kid named Jake joined Steve’s football team. Jake was just learning to play and wasn’t nearly as tall as Steve.

Jake didn’t know what to do during one game, so he took the ball and gave it to the other team. So then Steve punched Jake’s hand and broke it.

Jake said, “Myyyyyyyyy Hhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddd!”

Steve replied, “Your what?”

Jake yelled, “My hand!”

The football coach, Henry, screamed, “You are kicked off the team!”

Steve left the football field but apologized to Jake. “I’m sorry,” Steve said.

Steve went home and learned an important lesson: Don’t put your hands on others.
