<p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;">外教老师：Julette</p> <p class="ql-block"> 《Ruby's Worry 》is a children's emotional and psychological picture book series created by British author Tom Percival 《Big Bright Feelings 》the second part of Bright Feeling tells young readers how to get along with troubles.</p><p class="ql-block"> In this story, Percival tells the children two important messages: The worst way to deal with your troubles is to worry about them, and the best way to get rid of them is to share your feelings and tell your troubles!</p><p class="ql-block"> When children tell us, whether it is their troubles or other negative emotions, I hope our parents can be a good listener, be patient and be patient.</p> <p class="ql-block"> Ruby loved being Ruby.</p><p class="ql-block"> She loved to swing up high...</p> <p class="ql-block"> and she loved to explore wild, faraway places.</p><p class="ql-block"> Somethings she even went all the way to the very bottom of the garten! Ruby was perfectly happy. Until one day...</p> <p class="ql-block"> She discovered a worry. It wasn’t a very big worry...</p> <p class="ql-block"> Infact, it was so small that, at first, Ruby hardly noticed it.</p><p class="ql-block"> But then the worry started to grow.</p><p class="ql-block"> Each day it got a little bit bigger...</p> <p class="ql-block"> It just wouldn’t leave her alone.</p><p class="ql-block"> It was there at breakfast, staring at her over the cereal box. And was STILL there at night, when she brush her teeth.</p> <p class="ql-block"> The funny thing was that no one could see Ruby’s worry-not even her teacher. So Ruby pretended that she couldn’t see it either.</p> <p class="ql-block"> She tried to carry on as if everthing was normal-but it just wasn’t!</p><p class="ql-block"> The worry was always there -stoping her from doing the things she loved.</p> <p class="ql-block"> Ruby wondered if the worry would ever go away. What if it stayed forever?</p><p class="ql-block"> Ruby didn’t realise, but she was doing the worst thing you could ever do with a worry...</p><p class="ql-block"> She was worrying about it!</p> <p class="ql-block"> Now the worry was ENORMOUS!</p><p class="ql-block"> It could barely fit in the kitchen at teatime.</p><p class="ql-block"> It filled up half of the school bus...</p> <p class="ql-block"> and it took up whole rows at the cinema. The worry became the only thing that Ruby could think about, and it seemed like she would never be happy again.</p> <p class="ql-block"> Then, one day, something unexpected happened...</p><p class="ql-block"> Ruby noticed a boy sitting alone in a pack. He looked how she felt -sad.</p><p class="ql-block"> And then she noticed something else, something hovering next to him. Could it be... a worry?</p> <p class="ql-block"> It was! Ruby realised that she wasn’t the only person with a worry after all. Other people had them too!</p><p class="ql-block"> She asked the boy what was in his mind and, as he told her, the strangest thing happened... his worry began to shrink!</p> <p class="ql-block"> Then Ruby did the best thing you can ever do if you have a worry... she talked about it.</p><p class="ql-block"> As the words tumbled out, Ruby’s worry began to shrink until it was barely there at all.</p><p class="ql-block"> Soon, both of their worries were gone!</p> <p class="ql-block"> Finally, Ruby felt like herself again! Of course, that wasn’t the last time that she ever had a worry(everyone gets them from time to time). But now that she knew how to get rid of them...</p> <p class="ql-block"> they never hung around for long.</p><p class="ql-block"> THE END.</p>
