The True Meaning of Cooperation

Being Cooperative

The bell rings and the students come back to their classes. Ms. Manny teaches them how to draw. The students are divided into four groups. In one group there are 7 students. Now it's time to work together.
One student says,"I'll draw a door!" After about 30 minutes, they finish.
At break time, they go to the canteen. You can see happiness on their faces. Benjamin forgot his snack, so he steals from Frank.
Angry, Frank says, "Do you want it rough or smooth?" as he wants to punch Benjamin.
After the break, Jane tells the whole story to Ms. Manny and she gets mad with Frank and tells him to stand in the corner. "Don't be naughty!" she says. "And show some cooperation towards your friends!" she adds.
Frank says, "All right, Ms., all right!"
The next morning Ms. Manny asks the students to count. Frank is very cooperative and his friends really like him. Ms. Manny is impressed. For this, she gives him a certificate!
At home, his parents congratulate him, and now, because he's cool and cooperative, he's the smartest boy in the class.
