    Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tico. Tico loved to play and make friends, but sometimes his emotions would take him too far. He had a heart full of kindness, but his temper often got the best of him.

    One day at school, Tico had a disagreement with a classmate over a toy. The words he spoke deeply wounded his little friend, leaving him sad and hurt. Consumed by anger, Tico didn’t realize the damage his words had caused.

    Suddenly, poof, Tico was teleported into his imagination! He found himself in a small boat in the middle of the sea, facing high and furious waves. But he wasn’t alone. His imaginary friend, Panda, was there too.

    "Panda, where are we?" Tico asked, looking around. "We're in the sea of emotions, Tico. And it seems we've arrived at the island of anger," Panda replied, pointing to an island covered in dark clouds.

    Tico felt a tightness in his chest as he looked at the island. He realized that his anger had brought him there, and it made him even more distressed. "Panda, I hurt my friend. I didn’t want to do that," Tico said, tears welling up in his eyes.

    "It can be hard to control our emotions sometimes, Tico. But we're here to learn together how to deal with them," Panda said, placing his hand on Tico’s shoulder affectionately. Panda was always there to guide Tico through his feelings.

    As they explored the island, Panda explained how the island's gloomy and stormy landscape represented anger. Tico saw that the twisted trees and sharp rocks were like the feelings of fury consuming him from within.

    "We need to find a way to calm this storm inside you, Tico," Panda said, looking at him with concern. Tico took a deep breath and thought about the words he had said to his friend. He knew he needed to apologize and mend what he had broken.

    Tico realized that his anger was like a furious wave that came forcefully but passed with time, and that he didn't need to let it control his actions. This was a big realization for Tico, and he was determined to change.

    Panda taught Tico a few ways to calm his anger, such as taking deep breaths, counting to ten, and expressing his feelings calmly and gently. Tico appreciated Panda's advice and was eager to apply it.

    After spending some time on the island of anger, Tico began to feel calmer. He realized that his anger wasn’t as scary as it seemed, and that he could handle it in a healthy way. This experience was enlightening for Tico.

    "Panda, I know what to do. I need to apologize to my friend and make amends for what I did wrong," Tico said with determination. He was ready to face his friend and make things right.

    Panda smiled proudly. "That's right, Tico! Acknowledging our mistakes and trying to correct them is a big step in managing anger." Tico felt encouraged by Panda's words.

    Suddenly, poof, Tico was back in reality, at school. His friend was still there, looking at him with sadness in his eyes. Tico knew it was time to apologize.

    Tico approached him, "I’m sorry for saying those things. I was angry and let it control me. I apologize for what I did. Can we still be friends?". Tico's sincerity touched his friend deeply.

    His classmate looked at Tico with surprise and then smiled. "Of course, Tico. Thank you for apologizing." They hugged and went back to playing together, happy. Tico felt a wave of relief wash over him.

    And so, Tico learned that recognizing and apologizing for his mistakes is an important part of managing his emotions. He understood that it was okay to feel anger, but it was not okay to hurt others with it.
