Franklin and the Gecko Games (Franklin and Friends)
Description
Franklin the Turtle and Beaver both want to be the summer caretaker for Gordon, their club's pet gecko. To determine the best 'gecko-sitter,' their friends organize special 'Gecko Games' to test their skills. Franklin wins two out of three games, but notices Beaver's disappointment and reconsiders the victory. Despite his excitement, Franklin realizes the job is more important to Beaver, who doesn't have a pet, and decides to let Beaver take the role. This decision serves as a valuable lesson in compassion, kindness, and the joy of giving, as well as the importance of fairness in decision-making.
