Ryers Readers' Request from four-year-old Sebastian. Sebastian would like to hear Ruby Fines a Worry by Tom Percival. Enjoy this story, Sebastian. Let's do this. Loved being Ruby. She loved to swing up high and she loved to explore wild, far away places. Sometimes she even went all the way to the back of the very bottom of the garden. Ruby was perfectly happy one day. She discovered a worry. It wasn't a very big worry. In fact, it was so small that at first, Ruby hardly noticed it.

But then, the worry started to grow. Each day, it got a little bit bigger. It just wouldn't leave her alone. It was there at breakfast, staring at her over her cereal box, and it was still there at night when she brushed her teeth. The funny thing was that no one else could see Ruth's. Ruby's worry, not even her teacher. So Ruby pretended that she couldn't see it either.

She tried to carry on as if everything was normal, but it just wasn't. The worry was always there, stopping her from doing the things that she loved. Ruby wondered if the worry would ever go away. What if it didn't? What if it stayed with her for? forever. Ruby didn't realize it, but she was doing the worst thing you could ever do with a worry. She was worrying about it. Now the worry was enormous. It could barely fit in the kitchen at dinner time. It filled up half the school bus. And it took up whole rows at the movie theater.

The worry became the only thing that Ruby could think about, and it seemed like she would never feel happy again. Then, one day, something unexpected happened. Ruby noticed a boy sitting alone at the park. He looked how she felt, sad. And then she noticed something else. something hovering next to him. Could it be a worry?

It was. Ruby realized that she wasn't the only person with a worry after all. Other people had them too. She asked the boy what was on his mind, and, as he told her, the strangest thing happened. His worry began to shrink. Then Ruby did the best thing you could ever do if you have a worry.

She talked about it. And as the words tumbled out, Ruby's worry began to shrink until it was barely there at all. Soon, both of their worries were gone. Finally, Ruby felt like herself again. Of course, that wasn't the last time she'd. ever had a worry, everyone gets them from time to time. But now that she knew how to get rid of them, they never hung around for long. The end. Don't forget to stick around to see if you can answer today's paying attention question. Before you go, do you think you can answer today's
