Reader's Theatre- Character thinking about other characters

I met this cricket the night that the other animals teased me. I am wondering if he heard me crying by the pond. I was so upset. The cricket was very encouraging right away! He told me that anyone can dance to their own tune! I was thinking, even if he is not right, what a kind thing to say. That is the kind of friend that I would like to be. I don’t want to be like those other animals!
