Introduction

Hello, little friends! Today, we are going to read a fun story about four special friends – Circle, Square, Triangle, and Rectangle. Each of them thought they were the best shape, but they couldn’t decide who was truly the best. So, they asked a wise star for help.

Let’s find out what happened!

Explanation

Once upon a time, there were four friends: Circle, Square, Triangle, and Rectangle. One day, they started arguing about who was the best shape. Circle said, "I am the best because I am round and pretty! I have no sharp corners. Children love to draw me as a happy face." But Square disagreed. He said, "No, I am the best! I have four sides, and they are all the same length. Lots of sweet treats are square, and I look very nice!"

Then Triangle spoke up. "I am the best! I have three sides. Kids draw me as mountains, and they enjoy yummy snacks that are shaped like me!" Rectangle laughed and said, "You are all wrong! I have four sides too, with two long and two short. Kids like to eat biscuits and chocolates in my shape. I am the best!"

The friends could not decide who was the best, so they decided to ask someone for help. Soon, they met a wise star. They told her about their argument. The star thought for a moment and said, "Why are you fighting? You are all friends! If you work together, you can make beautiful pictures and designs. Each shape has something special to offer!"

The four friends realised that the star was right. Instead of arguing, they could use their shapes together to make beautiful things. They promised never to fight again and remained best friends forever.

Moral of the story

The story teaches us an important lesson about friendship and teamwork. It shows that arguing over who is the best is pointless because everyone has their unique strengths and qualities. By working together and combining our strengths, we can achieve greater things than we can on our own. You could create the most beautiful pictures and patterns!
