. It feels very sad. He knows that he should not have done that, but at that moment he feels very angry and can not think. A day when Manolita was very sad because her teacher had punished her, she found a much older and more experienced turtle. The tortoise said:- Manolita, do not you realize that the solution to your problems is in the shell?

When you feel that anger, you have to get into the shell and count to 10
