We have some unhappiness that cannot be avoided. A person can’t get anything he wants. In the story, Alexandra has no toy in his breakfast cereal box. The elevator door closes on his foot. The shoes he likes are sold out. He was not lucky on that day. Everyday we may have unhappy things.
When we are facing unhappiness, we could cry, keep calm and talk to others. Those are the ways we control our emotions. When Alexander meets something bad, he feels terrible and dislikes everything. But that makes him feel worse. We can cry to let out our feelings, then calm down and talk about our feeling with others. Then we may feel better.
We need to learn how to avoid unhappiness in the future. We can get out of some bad things and avoid the problem. In the story, Alexander tripped on the skateboard. If he puts things where they should be, he will not fall on it. If we learn the lessons and follow the rules, bad things will not happen.
Unhappiness may happen everyday. We need to find some ways to control our emotions when we have a problem. If we do better and learn some good lessons. the unhappy problem will disappear.
