Study Notes
Little Craig's Birthday Party Dilemma
- Little Craig loved birthday parties, but he didn't get invited to many parties.
- One day, he received an invitation from Joey, the new kid in school, to attend his birthday party.
- The party invitation included balloons, cake, games, and prizes.
The Conflict
- Craig was excited to attend Joey's party, but he soon received another invitation to his friend Dan's birthday party on the same day and time (August 23rd, 1pm).
- Craig was torn between attending Joey's party, where he had promised to go, and Dan's party, where all his friends would be.
The Decision
- Craig initially decided to attend Dan's party, but his mom reminded him that he had given his word to Joey and should keep his promise.
- Craig then wrote a letter to Joey apologizing for not being able to attend his party, but his mom suggested that he imagine how Joey would feel if every invited guest wrote a similar letter.
Alternative Solutions

- Craig eventually decided to keep his promise to Joey and attend his party.
The Outcome
- Craig attended Joey's party and had a great time, eating cake, playing games, and winning a prize.
- He felt good about keeping his word and making a new friend, Joey.
