Ben was hoping for a video game for his
birthday. There was also a board game he wanted. Finally, he wanted some
comics.
He got the board game and some comics, but
what was in the last package? It was from his sister, Karen. He slowly
unwrapped the package. It didn't feel like a video game.
It was a purple sweater. Purple was his
least favourite colour. He smiled and thanked Karen nicely, but he didn't want
'to wear that sweater. He couldn't wear purple!
He quickly put the sweater away in his
room. Then he ran off to play his new board game with his family.
One day a few weeks later, Ben's mother
asked him about the sweater. "Why don't you wear your purple sweater
today?" she asked him. "Your sister made it just for you!"
"I'm not cold," Ben said without
thinking. That day he was cold all day.
Then one day they were going out to dinner
as a family. His mother asked him to wear the sweater again. "I don't want
to wear it because I hate it," he quickly replied.
"Ben," said his mother," I
know it's not the nicest sweater in the world, but think about how important
Karen is to you. You know she will be proud if you wear it just this once."
Ben walked slowly to his room. He knew she
was right. He wore the sweater to dinner.
His sister smiled all night.
