Playful Thomas
Say Hi
Hi, kids!
Thomas, come on~
Say hi to your friends!
N...no.
What are you doing there?
Come out here.
Mommy, Thomas wants to go home~
But you wanted to play with your friends, right?
I want to go home!
Home!
Alright.
Kids, your friend hiding there is called Thomas.
He wants to play but right now, he's shy….
Could you play with him next time?
OK~
OK, bye~!!
Bye!
Thomas! "Bye!" Like this!
It's good to say hi and bye~
You wanted to play with them....
Let's go home now.
OK~
Oh, hello~!
Hello~
Oh, Thomas?
Hi! You are out for a walk?
No!
Thomas!
I am sorry.
Never mind. See you next time~
Bye-bye!
Thomas, you should say hello when you meet someone you know.
Why do you hide like that?
I am shy.... So shy!
Oh dear~
Thomas, what's wrong?
Mommy keeps pushing me to say hi...
Thomas doesn't want to.
Why not?
I don't know... I just don't want to.
When you bump into someone you know in the street,
how do you feel?
Happy?
Yes... Sometimes, I want to play with them.
But you are shy to say hi first, right?
Yes...
Right. At first, everybody is shy to say hello.
Other friends feel that way too.
Really?
Of course~
Hi~
Hmmm!
Mmmm....
Oh, Alice! Hello!
Oh dear~
If you be brave, overcome that shyness
and start saying hi with your friends,
it feels nice.
Also, you can become friends quickly.
Y....yeah?
Of course.
Do you want to try saying hello?
Mommy, Mommy~
I want to play with friends~
Really?
See you later~
Oh, OK.
Um... hi!
I am Thomas.
Nice to meet you.
Uh... hi~ I am Kevin.
Hi, I am Alice~
Thomas, do you want to play with us?
Yes!
Hi, auntie!
Oh, hello!
Have fun, Thomas!
Thank you! Bye-bye!
Wow, good job, Thomas!
I was a bit shy...
But how do you feel saying hi like that?
Feels good!
That's right!
When you run into your friends
or someone you know outside,
don't hide behind Mommy.
Don't turn away.
Try saying hi first.
"Hello!" Like this.
Our little friends can do this, right?
Yes!
