Why do we have rules? Some of them keep us safe.
A belt keeps us safe in a car.
Stay out of traffic. Cross at a crosswalk.
Some think rules are just mean. But many keep us safe.
A rule is best when it is clear. It stays the same.
Kids can share a toy. Each gets a turn, five minutes each.
Ask with a smile. Say, May I please have it first?
Games have rules too. In 1891, James Naismith made up basketball.
A fair law is the same for everyone.
A good rule is clear, so all can know it.
