Margo & Paulo

Why are you two so quiet? Normally you’re the life of the party!

They had a fight about cleaning their room.

Earlier …

Fine! Sara Slitherscales will divide our room. If you cross her, she’ll BITE!

I don’t want to come to your side anyway! It’s always messy!

Are you really going to ignore each other all night?

This isn’t a very kind way for a brother and sister to treat each other.

I don’t even want to be her brother anymore!

I didn’t mean it. I was just so mad! I wish I could take it back.

You can’t un-say your words. But you can still try to make things right.

You mean I can repent. Right?

Right. Jesus Christ atoned for you so you can always repent and try again.

I know what I need to do. And I think I’m ready now.

Later …

Margo? Can I come in?

Wow, you did all this?

With Mamãe’s help. I’m sorry I always make messes. I promise to do better!

I’m sorry I yelled at you and made you sad.

I forgive you. Maybe we don’t need Sara Slitherscales to split our room after all?

I’m really glad you’re my sister.

Me too.
