__The Mischievous Little Llama __  There once was a little llama name Sam. This wasn’t your ordinary little llama; Sam was a llama with an attitude problem. He threw hissy fits when his mother tried to get him to eat his vegetables. He wouldn’t share his toys at recess, with the other little llamas at his school. He would belch in public and would not say “excuse me”. To say the least Sam lacked politeness. And because he lacked politeness and wasn’t very nice to anyone Sam didn’t have any friends. It made him very sad that he didn’t have any friends, but he always made it seem like he just didn’t care. One day in school Sam was hogging the slide like he usually did when all of a sudden he heard a voice say “Excuse me can I have a turn on the slide, please?” Sam turned around and saw a girl llama that he had never seen before standing at the bottom of the slide. He turned to her a rudely said, “who are you?  “My name is Lizzie and I am new in school,” she replied. Just a Sam was about to say something very mean to her he realized something. He thought about how he didn’t have any friends and how he had been very mean and rude to everyone else in his school. So instead of saying something mean to her, he said “sure we can take turns going up and down the slide.”  They played together until recess was over. Sam was very happy to have another person to play with at recess, and he felt good about being nice to someone. He had decided that from now on he would change his attitude and would be more polite to others. In the end he learned that being nice and having manners always pays off.
