Share everything
Play fair
Don’t hit people
Put things back where you found them
Clean up your own mess
Don’t take things that aren’t yours
Say you’re sorry when you hurt someone
Wash your hands before you eat
Flush
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you
Live a balanced life—learn some and think some and draw and paint and
sing and dance and play and work some every day some
Take a nap every afternoon
When you go out into the world, watch out the traffic , hold hands and
stick together
