Jack was visiting his friend Bob’s house for lunch. But when he rang the doorbell, something surprising happened!
Instead of opening the door, a voice said, “All are welcome to my home—kids, fairies, elves, and gnomes. But only when I have heard the one and only password.”
Jack was puzzled. “What is the password?” he wondered. He tried saying “open sesame,” “abracadabra,” and even “Bob is the Best,” but nothing worked. Jack really wanted to eat Bob’s yummy soufflé!
Then, the voice gave a hint: “Of great words, there are two; use one and come through.”
Jack loved riddles and thought hard. “What are the two greatest words?” he asked.
Bob’s voice gave another clue: “It can open many a door and much, much more. When you want to be polite, add the word and make it right.”
Jack thought and thought. “Polite… right… opens a door and much, much more.” Suddenly, he knew the answer! “PLEASE!” he shouted. The door opened, and Jack was so happy to see Bob and enjoy the delicious soufflé.
After lunch, it was time to leave. The voice spoke again: “All can leave my little home—kids, fairies, elves, and gnomes. But only when I have heard the one and only password.”
Mary, another friend, was there too. She asked for a clue. The voice said, “What is more delightful than to say you are grateful? Two little words you say to make someone’s day.”
Mary thought for a moment and then exclaimed, “THANK YOU!” The door opened again, and everyone thanked Bob for the wonderful lunch.
So, what are the two best words ever? They are “PLEASE” and “THANK YOU!” These magic words help you be polite and make friends. Remember to use them every day!
