Alice a child who is just getting to know herself and how to make friends is a little girl who likes to read and write and play outside. One day she and her mother went to the park. Her mother knew what the first thing that Alice wanted to do there and wouldn't you know it right to the sandbox she went. What is it about the sandbox? Is it the sand and the digging around in it or what? Alice likes to make towers and on this day another child came by the name of
Brenda came up and asked Alice "What are you making?" Alice told her 'Towers.' "Do you want to help?" Brenda said that she likes to make castles and that her towers would help her castles bigger. They decided to work together and make one big castle with two towers. They hoped nobody else would want to play in the sandbox for a while for they planned on
covering the whole sandbox with their castle and towers. Alice started with her castle that would also allow for a moat of sorts she told Brenda. Brenda started to gather some sand for enough for two towers for one would be big enough for a princess to be in for they could use one of her Barbie dolls and play Rapunzel maybe. Alice had a few little ponies they could use, and they could make up stories.
Depending on the weather for they were looking up at the sky even though the sun was out there seemed to be clouds far off and they looked kind of dark. They each hoped that it would not rain on them. They did not want to try and
explain why they are covered in sandy mud and why they didn't get out of the rain since there was a small shelter at the park for just such an event.
Furthermore, Alice and Brenda are working so hard they didn't want the rain to 'melt' all their work. As the afternoon progressed these two girls just kept working till Brenda said that she was getting kind of thirsty and maybe a little hungry, so they went over to Alice's mom, who seemed always prepared and had a few PB&J's and juice for such an outing. Brenda had to ask her mom first, but she really didn't have far to go to ask for her mom made friends with Alice's mom already. You never know when going to the park to play when you will meet new friends
granting each other friendships that will stay friendly.
However, it seems that there were two other girls who also wanted to play in the sandbox. Karen and Sally came over to the sandbox and asked them what they were making. They told them a castle with two towers and a moat. Sally asked them if they thought that maybe they could play in the sandbox too if there was room for them. Alice looked around and saw that there was plenty of room at the other for it was a quite large sandbox or they could help them make a very big sandcastle. Sally and Karen joined in on helping with the castle.
Individually, each girl made several towers and now the castle had four towers, and they even made a stable for the princess's little horses. All four little girls were having such fun creating their kingdom they hadn't noticed the time and
jumping up and out of the sandbox they all
knew that this kingdom was doomed, but when they
looked around the playground they saw another group of girls and these girls did not look at all pleased at was built in the sandbox. Sally and Karen were new to the neighborhood and asked Alice and Brenda who those girls were. While let's see there is Kelly, Katrina and Kathy who seemed to always want what others have.
Many times when these three girls approach we generally just let them, but I wonder, said Karen. I wonder if they would like to add anything to the kingdom. We could ask.
Now as Kelly, Katrina and Kathy walked up to the sandbox Kelly looked down and was just about to kick at a tower looked around and then she had an idea to add something like a few little flags that they made from small twigs and small leaves to put on the towers. All the girls thought that was a very good idea.
Occasionally, these mean girls really are not that mean for just maybe they just wanted to show what they can do besides pick on others as they normally do and
perhaps this could be a start of a new and
quixotic group that could meet in the park at the sandbox and create many scenes like our castle to whatever and
randomly each girl will think of an idea to make
suddenly when they all looked up at the sky and some even felt a scanty few raindrops beginning to fall, they decided to save the princess and her livestock before
they were destroyed in what would become a kingdom of mud and destruction
under the deluge that was about to occur. Each of the girls
varcariously
went to
eXtreme means to extricate the princess and her livestock to saftey. All the girls have decided to make their little creative group and meet once a week to build bigger and better scenes. They called themselves 'The Friendly Kingdom Builders of TFKB's'. It was getting dark for they were all starting to
yawn and want to go home and start to think of other scenes to create
zygometrically (probably not a real word).
