Aiden dashed across the field, his curly hair bouncing as he chased the soccer ball. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he dribbled past his friend, Liam, before taking a shot at the goal.
Aiden's temper flared as he missed his chance. "Hey, that was mine!" he shouted, clenching his fists. His friends exchanged worried glances, sensing his rising anger.
"Let's try it again, Aiden. Together this time," said Ella, her voice calm and inviting. Aiden hesitated, his frustration melting as he saw the kindness in her eyes.
Aiden nodded, understanding dawning on him. "Thanks, Ella. I'm sorry for shouting," he said softly, realizing that playing together was more fun than fighting.
Liam joined them, and soon all three were passing the ball, their movements fluid and synchronized. "Great teamwork, Aiden!" Liam called out, giving a thumbs-up.
Aiden gazed at his friends, a smile on his face. He felt a warmth inside, knowing he had learned something important. "I'm glad we played together. I’ll try to stay calm next time," he promised, hugging his transformer toy close.
