Be fair and always share.
Be kind and you will shine.
Be a dear and you will always have friends near.
Being sweet is very neat.
Have you ever read about a vampire bat? It is a type of bat that lives in South America and has sharp little teeth. When I think of bats, I think about them being ugly little animals, and they are! But a vampire bat is kind and good to its bat family.
If a mama bat dies, another mama will adopt the children and take care of them. A bat family stays together until the baby bats are grown and make their own families. They can only live for two days without food or they will die. If one bat finds food and the other bat does not, then the one that found food will regurgitate some food to feed the other so it will not die. But if in the past the bat has been selfish and has not shared when there was a need, then the other bats will take note and not share with him if he is hungry. Even an ugly little bat knows that being selfish is wrong, and that if you want friends to be fair, then you, too, must share.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 4

I love the creativity of God. How much we learn from studying His creatures-big and small. Thanks, Shalom, for sharing. I was looking for a simple lesson to teach the kids in our assembly. I will "share" this lesson with them.
