Intro
Nora, Benny laugh and play
With a feather after snack.
Verse 1
One soft tickle feels like fun.
Soon the fun for Nora's done.
She steps back and says, “Please stop.”
Benny misses words so soft.
Chorus
Stop means stop—please listen now.
Clear kind voices show us how.
Feet stand still, one wing ahead:
“I do not want tickles,” Nora says.
Verse 2
Benny stops and puts it down.
“I hear you. Sorry,” says her friend.
They toss feathers through a hoop,
Asking “Yes or no?” each loop.
Final Chorus
Stop means stop—please listen now.
Caring friends can change their play.
Quiet stops still matter too.
Listening shows kind care for you.
