Tanya wanted to be right most of the time. But this got her in trouble with her friends. Tanya's friends were really smart. They didn't like being wrong. This led to arguments between Tanya and her friends. She thought the solution to this problem was to just make new friends. Then, she wouldn't have to fight anymore with her old friends. Her friend Melinda had a better idea. She explained how everyone could be right. And it didn't mean that the person who came up with the answer first was the most right. This new idea changed Tanya's friendships. Soon, she and her friends were having fun and laughing again. It was just like it used to be. Tanya was so happy. She was glad that Melinda had explained the new rule to them.
