*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

- What do you think would happen if you put 150 penguins on two school buses?

- Why is it a good idea to try to be friendly with your friend’s other friends?

- What does it mean to “assume good intent”? How can this help a friendship?

- Why is it important to help your friends understand what you think, feel, or need?

- Which is easier for you to move past, when you make a mistake with a friend or when a friend makes a mistake with you? Why? Why is it important to be able to move past both types of mistakes? (Hint: How could it hurt a friendship if you hold onto either resentment or guilt?)
