The ball beyond the fence

Fictional teaching story · You are the main character

Children remain behind a park fence with a trusted adult while a ball lies near the road.

Your red ball rolls toward the road. A younger child reaches for the gate. You spot a trusted grown-up nearby. This is a safety story about caring for life. The commandment itself forbids killing; deliberately taking someone’s life is far more serious than a playground mistake.

Start with what God says

Thou shalt not kill.Exodus 20:13 · King James Version
