Hi! My name is Ajeet Singh. My name means that I am an invincible lion. Sometimes I'm brave and fearless like a lion, and sometimes I'm not. After all, I'm just a kid. I learn so much every day.
At school there are some kids that bother me so much! It's really hard because there are 5 of them and only 1 of me.
They don't share or take turns. They think they are the best at everything, and they get mad when I play with the toys. It's really hard to be around them.
I try to talk to them nicely, but it doesn't help. I try to ignore them, but it's so hard. I try everything, but they won't stop bothering me! I don't know what to do.
I come home and tell Mumma. She tells me to find the happiest kids with the biggest smiles at school and play with them instead. She tells me that everything is going to be okay and reminds me that I am an invincible lion.
The next day, I see the kids that Mumma was talking about! It made me happy when they asked me to play.
We have lots of fun together. When I am with them, I feel brave and strong like a lion. I'm lucky to have found great new friends.
My friends and I challenge the other kids to a basketball game, and we win! After the game we all give each other high-fives and we become friends.
Mumma takes us all out to ice cream and tells us: "You are all invincible lions; you just need to practice your ROAR!"
