Summary
Introduction to Dalton Description of Dalton as a selfish boy. His reluctance to share toys or help neighbors. The Neighbor’s Request for Help A neighbor, Mrs. Rosin, asks Dalton for assistance with her garden. He ignores her request because he thinks it’s not his problem. Consequences of Selfishness The neighborhood children avoid playing with him. They talk about how unkind he is when they see each other at playdates. Dalton in Need – One day, while trying to fix something on his own (like a bike), things go wrong and he needs help badly but feels embarrassed asking anyone since he’s been so unfriendly before. Realization and Change – No one comes forward; then he remembers how lonely it felt being ignored himself. – Realizes that sharing kindness can create friendships instead of loneliness. **Conclusion/Message Learned by Dalton & Neighbors’ Response ** – Finally decides to apologize and offers some cookies as an olive branch along with helping others around him from now on!
