"Billy and Mason were playing basketball on the blacktop. They noticed Greg really didn't have anybody to play with, so they asked him to join in their game. How do you think Greg felt when Billy and Mason invited him to play?"
"Kaiya and her family are vegetarians. That means they only eat fruits and vegetables. Every day at lunch, as she sits down to eat, Jacob points to her food and says, 'Ewww. Gross. That's disgusting.' How do you think Jacob makes Kaiya feel?"
