Going to the park with Chaaya
This is a true story of a five year old Indian girl
who didn’t have patience. This story teaches children that
patience is everything in life. I believe teaching
patience to children when they are young will help them
deal with stress and having to wait. This story can teach
children that having patience is important.

One summer morning, Chaaya woke up and yelled
excitedly, “Mommy and Daddy are taking me to the park
today! Yea!”

Chaaya raced out of bed to wake up her mommy to help
her brush her teeth.

Chaaya’s mom, Indira, also brushed her teeth. They
sang a little song that went, “Lets brush our teeth, up
down up, side to side, not forgetting your tongue.”

Chaaya’s daddy, Sunil, was changing John’s diaper.
John is Chaaya’s baby brother. While daddy was getting
John ready, Chaaya decided to get herself dressed.
She put on her T-shirt and pants and combed her hair all by
herself.

Chaaya. “Can we go?
now? I’m ready.”

“Chaaya, you haven’t had any juice yet, have a sip,”
said Daddy.Chaaya got upset, turned her nose up, and
refused to drink her juice.

Mommy said, “If you don’t drink some juice, you’ll get
thirsty at the park.”

Chaaya made up her mind and drank all her juice as
fast as she could. “Slow down,” said Daddy.

“It’s clean up time” said Mommy. Mommy and Daddy
cleaned up the table and
washed the dishes. Chaaya was running out of patience.

“Can we go now?” said Chaaya.

“Chaaya, there are a few chores Daddy and I must do
before we go to the park, ”said mommy. Daddy packed the
cooler with ice while Mommy packed John’s diaper
bag.

crossed her arms and started to whine. “let’s goooo!, she
wailed

+rope, bubble gum, her doll, and a piggy bank.

stairs, forgetting her back pack.
