Once there was a little boy named Tyler. He had big blue eyes and hair bright as gold. Every morning, Tyler helped his mom make breakfast. He loved cracking eggs and pouring juice.
At school, Tyler was very, very good. He listened to his teacher, Mrs. Maple, and always raised his hand to answer questions. His friends smiled when he shared his toys with them.
One rainy day, Tyler forgot his raincoat. He felt the water soak his clothes and shivered. When he walked into class, his good mood had washed away.
Tyler didn't want to share his crayons. He scowled, and his friends were confused. 'Why won't you share today?' they asked, but Tyler just crossed his arms.
Mrs. Maple noticed Tyler was upset. She sat next to him and asked gently, 'What’s wrong, Tyler?' But Tyler looked away and frowned, saying nothing.
After a while, Tyler whispered, 'I'm all wet and cold.' Mrs. Maple nodded, understanding. 'Let's find a warm towel to dry off,' she suggested kindly.
Dried off and warmer, Tyler felt better. He returned to his friends with a small smile. 'Sorry for not sharing,' he said, passing out his crayons.
His friends beamed at him. 'It's okay, Tyler! We can draw together now!' they exclaimed. They spent the afternoon drawing rainbows and laughing.
At home, Tyler told his mom about his day. He talked about his bad mood and how he fixed it. 'That takes courage,' Mom said, hugging him tight.
That night, Tyler lay in bed thinking. He realized that it's okay to feel bad sometimes. ‘What matters is what I do after,’ he thought.
From then on, Tyler tried to remember to be kind, even when he felt 'attoshes.' He knew his bad moods would pass, and that he could always make things better.
And so, whether the days were sunny or rainy, Tyler was the very, very good boy again, and everyone knew they could count on his sunshine smile.
