Good morning!

Good morning Olivia!

Olivia's life was pretty happy. She had two nice friends, Joseph and Lucy. They would spend all day running around their small little town and would go home as soon as the street lights turned on. Although her life was fun, what was about to happen her next certainly wasn't.

Bye Olivia!!!

Olivia's parents decided to move away and Olivia was not happy about it, not one bit. Every one of her friends came to say goodbye, even her neighbor Jackie (who she was also friends with). In the end, Olivia was too sad to even say goodbye.

Compared to her old home, the town of Albatross seemed like a very big downgrade. Everything was so new and intimidating, she didn't know how to feel. Even her new neighbor, Mr. Jones, was scary to her.

What made things even worse was that she had to go to a new school. Olivia was definitely not ready to be the "new kid". Across the parking lot, there were two kids. They both looked really friendly and Olivia needed new friends. She was just too scared to walk up to them and talk.

Thanks Ms. Jones

Her teacher, noticing her bad mood, held Olivia back after class and asked her why she was so sad. Olivia explained to the teacher her situation. When the teacher was all caught up she brought out a book from her desk and taught Olivia about Karma. Ms. Jones tells her “As you sow, so shall you reap”(Baps.com). She was very interested but wasn't too sure about the idea. On her way out she helped a little girl who dropped all her stuff after falling to the ground.

Olivia's parents also noticed her bad mood. They both decided to try to cheer her up. They both go back and forth in deciding what to tell her, but they settle on one lesson, "Love your neighbor as you love thyself"(Mathew 22:39). Olivia is a little confused but keeps this in mind just in case.

Thanks!

No problem

Looking for more helpful advice Olivia goes to her brother, George. George has recently been learning about the three treasures of Taoism. The treasure George decided to teach Olivia about was Compassion(Lao Tzu). Hopefully, this will help her in the future.
