The Bragging Gi Gi

By Shannon Donnelly

Once there was KittyCat Pandas named Gi Gi, and Lindsay. Lindsay was the shortest, and she was also the oldest. Gi Gi was the tallest, and also the youngest. Lindsay wasn't that good at anything; she was even slow at running. All the boys and girls made fun of her. Gi Gi was the best at everything; she could jump rope backwards. All the animals wanted her on their team!

One summer day all of the animals were playing soccer. Gi Gi made the winning goal! After the game Gi Gi would dance around Lindsay saying, "I made the winning goal! I made the winning goal and you didn't!"

This made Lindsay very upset. She didn't want to play games with Gi Gi anymore, because Gi Gi would brag all of the time. This time Lindsay got sooo upset she stomped off and sat in a corner.

Gi Gi would bug her all the time, trying to find out why Lindsay wouldn't play games with her. Then one day all of the other animals didn't want to play with Gi Gi either. This made Gi Gi very confused. She couldn't figure out why.

Lindsay went up to her and said, "We don't like playing with braggers!"

Gi Gi was so upset that her best friend called her a bragger, that she went home crying. Her mom found her in her room. "What's the matter honey," Her mother said.

"No one wants to play with me. They call me a bragger. Even Lindsay! Why would she say such a thing?" Gi Gi whined.

"Well, do you tell people you did something good, and they didn't?" her mother asked.

"Yes," She answered.

"And did you make people feel bad when they didn't win?" her mother questioned.

"Yes. I have to go tell Lindsay something. Bye mom!"

"Bye honey!"

Gi Gi went straight to the playground catching her friend Lindsay playing toilet tag with the others. "Lindsay! Lindsay! I need to tell you something!" Gi Gi said.

"What is it?" Lindsay said.

"I'm very sorry for bragging. Forgive me?" Gi Gi asked.

"Of course."

From then on Gi Gi told how good people where doing, even if they were doing a bad job. All of the animals in the KittyCat Panda kingdom were excited to play with her anytime, because Gi Gi isn't a bragger.
