One day, on a regular kindergarten playground, Sammi the bunny was playing with his friends—Palla the puppy, Bino the bird, and Miki the mouse. They had a corner with blocks, a ball, and some carrot sticks to share. Sammi made sure everyone got a turn.
A while back, a big kid named Ruzz started taking over parts of Ukara’s corner. First, years ago, Ruzz grabbed a spot called Cresta, saying it was his because some kids there talked like him. Ukara said no, but Ruzz wouldn’t stop. Then, not long ago, he pushed into even more of Ukara’s space with his loud friends, saying he was the boss of it all. Ukara kept asking for help to keep her corner safe. Some kids from far away—like Ella the elephant and Fynn the fox—sent her extra blocks and snacks to hold on.
One day, a loud bear named Taddy marched onto Sammi’s playground. Taddy talked big and acted tough. He didn’t want to share—he wanted Sammi’s corner.
“Sammi,” Taddy yelled, loud enough for everyone to hear, “Teacher picked me to be in charge. She says I’m the best, and I get all the blocks and snacks. Ruzz told me I’m right, and you’re just a little bunny who’s nothing.”
Sammi looked at him. “That’s not right, Taddy. Teacher says we all share. And Ruzz has been taking Ukara’s stuff for years—first Cresta, then more just lately. Did Teacher really say you’re the boss?”
Taddy stepped closer, shouting, “Yeah, she did! I’m the greatest! Ruzz says Ukara caused it by wanting other friends, not him. If you don’t give me your stuff, it’s your fault if everyone’s mad. I’ll tell them you’re the problem!”
Palla stopped kicking the ball. Bino and Miki looked worried. Taddy’s loud voice made them nervous, like maybe he was right.
Sammi knew the story. Ruzz had bullied Ukara since way back, taking Cresta, then coming back for more, even though Ukara just wanted to play with everyone. Ella and Fynn kept helping her with supplies, but Ruzz wouldn’t quit. Taddy used to say Ruzz was smart for taking stuff, not Ukara for fighting back. Now, Taddy was acting the same—making up stories, blaming Sammi, and siding with the big taker.
Sammi stood up. “I don’t think that’s true, Taddy. You’re just loud and want our stuff, like Ruzz with Ukara’s corner. This playground’s for all of us.”
Taddy smirked. “I’m too big to stop, Sammi. Ruzz likes me, and I’ll take it anyway!”
But Palla stepped up. “Sammi’s right. You’re not in charge.” Bino nodded. “Teacher didn’t say that.” Miki added, “Stop yelling and blaming us.” They stood with Sammi, holding their things.
Taddy’s shouting didn’t work anymore. He didn’t expect them to push back. “You’re all wrong!” he muttered, then walked off to sit by the fence alone.
Sammi and his friends kept playing. They built with the blocks and shared the snacks. Taddy stayed quiet, done with his big talk.
Later, Sammi told his friends three things:
Listen well—if someone’s story sounds fake, it might be a lie.
Stand up—don’t let loud kids trick you.
Stay together—friends can stop a bully.
The playground stayed theirs, and Sammi knew not to trust loud talkers like Taddy who side with grabbers.
