Kiki Waits Her Turn β A Patience & Manners Story | Shalvit Kids TV Storybook No. 59
**Five friends ahead of Kiki at the big slideβ¦ and her feet feel SO wiggly!** πβ
Kiki can't wait β literally! Join Kiki, Bibo, Lulu, Pip and Mama for a whole day of turns at the park and the school fair: the tall rainbow slide with a line of **FIVE** friends, the swing that flies to the sky, the merry-go-round, the seesaw, the ice-cream cart β and the warm, golden **puff-puff stall**, where Kiki's tummy rumbles so loudly she almost, *almost* squeezes in front! Instead, she remembers Mama's waiting song β **"Wait, wait, wait β my turn will be great!"** π΅ β she breathes, she steps back, she counts her friends down **5β¦ 4β¦ 3β¦ 2β¦ 1β¦ MY TURN!** β and discovers the sweetest lesson of all: *"Everyone gets a turn β waiting kindly makes my turn even sweeter."* π
