Pamuk the bunny hopped happily on the green grass. In his hand, he had a bright, red toy rattle.

Tospik the turtle walked over slowly. When he saw the rattle in Pamuk's hand, his eyes opened wide with curiosity.

Without asking, Tospik grabbed the red rattle right out of Pamuk's hand. Pamuk froze in surprise.

Pamuk crossed his arms and frowned. "I feel mad," Pamuk said.

Pamuk's eyes welled up with tears and his ears drooped down. "I feel sad," Pamuk said.

Tospik looked at his friend's face and felt ashamed. "I am sorry, I should have asked, 'May I have it?'" Tospik said.

Pamuk took his toy back and smiled. "If you want, you can ask 'May I have the rattle?' now," Pamuk said.

The two friends took turns shaking the rattle: first Pamuk, then Tospik. It felt so nice to say, "It's your turn!"
