Pockets Teaches Behavior To The Kids

Hi, my name is Pockets! My mission is to help and teach kids the good value of life. I have a lot of pockets, even on my hat. Sometimes I forget to do something, and I write them down and put them in one of my pockets. Then I will forget what pocket I put the note in. So, I add another pocket to my clothes, but in a different color so that will help me to remember that I put it in that color pocket.

Pockets and the Secret of Sharing

93 Views

In the lively town of Willowbrook, there lived a curious and kind-hearted boy named Pockets. He loved exploring, making friends, and learning new things. But his best friend, Rufus, was quite the opposite. Rufus was smart and playful, but he hated sharing. Whether it was his toys, his snacks, or even his ideas, Rufus wanted everything for himself.

One day, as Pockets and Rufus played near the old oak tree, they discovered something magical—a shimmering golden door hidden among the roots. As they brushed away the leaves, the door creaked open, revealing a dimly lit tunnel.

Inside, a mysterious glowing stone floated in the air. It pulsed with light and spoke in a warm, wise voice:

"Welcome, travelers. To find the greatest treasure, you must learn the power of sharing. Each challenge will test your heart. Choose wisely."

Suddenly, three glowing paths appeared before them. Pockets looked at Rufus and smiled. "Let’s go together!"

Rufus crossed his arms. "I don’t need sharing to find treasure. I’ll take all the treasure for myself!"

The stone chuckled. "We shall see."

Pockets and Rufus followed the first path until they found a small, shivering kitten meowing beside an empty bowl. The kitten looked up at them with big, hungry eyes.

Pockets had a small bag of cookies. Rufus had a giant sandwich—but he held it tightly.

The stone whispered: "What will you do?"

Rufus took a big bite of his sandwich and ignored the kitten. But suddenly, the sandwich vanished into thin air!

The Sharing Stone sighed, "Selfishness takes away more than it gives." The path ahead became darker and harder to see.

Rufus sighed and tossed the kitten a tiny crumb. The kitten nibbled, still hungry.

The Sharing Stone whispered, "A little kindness is good, but true sharing comes from the heart." The path remained, but it was still dim.

Pockets smiled and knelt beside the kitten. "Here, little one. You need this more than I do." He gave half of his cookies to the kitten.

The kitten purred happily, its fur glowing gold. Suddenly, the path shimmered with bright light, and a golden paw print appeared on the map.

Rufus blinked. "That actually worked?"

Pockets grinned. "Maybe sharing isn’t so bad after all."

The next path led them to a park, where a boy sat alone on a bench, watching others play with colorful kites.

The Sharing Stone whispered, "Look closely. He wishes to play, but he has nothing to share."

Pockets held a bright red kite. Rufus had an even bigger blue kite.

Rufus ran past the boy, ignoring him. But suddenly, the wind stopped. His kite fell, tangled in a tree.

The Sharing Stone whispered, "When joy is kept to yourself, it fades." The path ahead became slippery and hard to walk on.

Rufus let the boy hold his kite for a second, then quickly took it back. The boy smiled a little but still looked sad.

The Sharing Stone whispered, "Sharing is not just giving a little—it’s giving with your heart." The path ahead stayed the same, but it was still unclear.

Pockets grinned. "Come on! Let’s fly it together!" He handed the boy the string, and they took turns soaring the kite into the sky.

The boy laughed with joy, and suddenly, a golden gust of wind lifted the kite higher than ever before. Another golden symbol appeared on Pockets’ map.

Rufus scratched his head. "I guess that made him happy."

Pockets nodded. "It feels good, doesn’t it?"

At last, they reached the end of their journey—a long banquet table covered in delicious food! But the chairs around it were empty.

The Sharing Stone whispered one last time, "The greatest joy comes not from what you have but from what you give."

Rufus and Pockets could:

Rufus grabbed handfuls of food, but with each bite, the feast slowly disappeared until the table was empty.

The Sharing Stone sighed, "A full stomach cannot replace a full heart." The treasure chest remained locked.

Rufus ate some, then wrapped the rest in a cloth. He had enough, but the meal wasn’t as fun alone.

The Sharing Stone whispered, "Halfway there, but sharing is more than saving—it’s about giving." The treasure chest glowed faintly but did not open.

Pockets cupped his hands and called out. Within moments, the lonely boy, the friendly giant, and even the little kitten appeared, laughing and cheering.

Together, they feasted, sharing stories and laughter.

Suddenly, the treasure chest burst open, revealing a golden heart-shaped gem. The Sharing Stone’s voice echoed:

"The greatest treasure is the joy of giving. Only those who share, truly gain."

Rufus stared at the glowing gem. "I thought treasure was gold and jewels…"

Pockets smiled. "Maybe this is even better."

Rufus thought for a moment, then handed the kitten a piece of bread. The stone sparkled brightly, and for the first time, Rufus felt lighter, happier.

Maybe, just maybe… sharing was worth it after all.

Moral of the Story:

Sharing doesn’t just help others—it brings joy to your own heart.
