This is Benny Bear. Benny has two soft paws. Benny loves to play!
Benny is building a tall tower with colorful blocks. He is so proud!
Oh no! The tower falls down with a crash! Benny feels very upset.
Benny wants to hit the blocks. But then Mama Bear comes over.
"Hands are not for hitting," says Mama Bear softly. "That can hurt."
"Hands are for helping!" says Mama. Benny helps pick up the blocks.
"Hands are for holding!" Benny holds his friend Sammy Squirrel's paw.
"Hands are for hugging!" Benny gives Mama Bear a great big hug.
Benny feels much better. His hands are for helping, holding, and hugging!
