"Wait.
Did Ruff just roll over?
He did!
Hurray! Ruff learned something new!
Then Emma thinks
a very important think:
What else can she learn
about rainbows?"
Emma is a very young girl; only five. She rides a tricycle, has two sisters and a dog named Ruff. Emma likes to teach Ruff new tricks. He is interested in learning, but has great difficulty when asked to roll over. Emma considers Ruff the best dog anyway.
Emma would also like to be 'best' at something. Perhaps, music! She imagines herself playing violin concerts all around the world; her attempts are an affront to her sisters' ears. Maybe soccer? She is quick, and good at running and kicking ... not so good at helping her team win. She is a very accomplished student at school, until she forgets to name indigo as a color of the rainbow. Poor Emma!
At home she contemplates things while sitting with Ruff, who has finally managed to roll over. What joy! In her happiness over Ruff's success, she decides to paint a picture. Finally, great success on her part. It may not be the best, but it is better than anything she has painted up until now. Brava, Emma!
All along the way, Emma has loved trying and then trying again. Isn't that the best?
