Page 14 - FS-Take me out to the Ball Game
P. 14
I hope that you found this baseball game interesting. It may seem strange that each of the boys in the story reacted differently to the “missed ball.”
I think the lesson for you humans to learn from this story is that your Thinking is what controls how you Feel and how you Behave.
Lots of people, even many adults, think that you have little control over your emotions (your feelings) or your behavior.
Some people would agree with the first boy (Mad Boy) that missing the ball is what made him angry and that he was correct to blame and become angry with the other two boys.
Now, I am just a crow but even I know that Mad Boy was making himself angry. He made himself angry by telling himself that it was the fault of the others that he missed the ball and that they should have let him catch it.
He did not understand that his thinking was wrong and that made it Stinky.
