Today we had Tai Chi in the hall and we got into a circle and said our positive and negative comments and our Random acts of kindness. The power word was courage and Mr. Gordon was telling us stories of people taking courage in what they were doing.One of the stories he told us was about a old lady and she lived next door to his school and she had a whole back yard full of fruit and vegetables and when he was seven and heaps of the kids at his school was  going over her fence to steal her apples, grapes, peaches and mandarins so she use to chase them back to the school with a rake so everyone thought she was a witch.  Then one day Mr. Gordon's friend wanted a apple but he couldn't get over the fence so his friend asked Mr. Gordon to steal a apple for him and he said no why don't we just ask so Mr. Gordon was trying to scare his friend, so he went to ask the lady and his friend was really scared so he was standing by the mailbox.  When Mr. Gordon went up to the door the lady said what do you want and he said an apple and the lady had a big grin on her face she was happy because he was the first kid to ask for a fruit, she took him to the back of her house and gave him a bag of fruit and because he was the first person to ask he to go to her house all the time to get a bag of fruit for his family. This story was an example of courage- being brave to ask.Image result for courage
