One of these stories is about a time when things were a little bit scary for the people living there. But don’t worry, we’re going to make it easy and fun to understand!

What Happened in Argentina?

A long time ago, in Argentina, there was a leader named General Videla. He was in charge of the country, but he made some choices that were not very nice. He wanted to make sure everyone did what he said, so he used his power in a way that made many people unhappy and scared.

Being a Good Friend

When we hear stories like this, we can remember to be good friends. Being a good friend means listening to others, sharing, and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Just like how we like to play together and have fun, we can also make sure everyone feels included and loved.
