Thomas was quite mean. He had a younger brother called Sam and he seldom shared his toys with him.
"You must share, Thomas," said his mother. "One day you will want somebody to share something with you and they won't. Then you will be very upset."
"I will be fine, Mom," Thomas replied. "As long as I have my own toys, I will always be fine."
"Very well," his mother said. "It seems that you know best."
One day Thomas' mother decided to teach him a lesson. At Christmas, she knew that both boys wanted the same video game. She knew that if she bought it for Thomas, Sam would never get to play it. So she bought the game for Sam.
When Christmas Day arrived, both boys were patiently waiting for their presents in front of the fireplace. As Sam opened his present, he was very excited. Thomas saw it was the game he wanted and smiled.
"Thank you so much, Mom!" Sam said.
"There is just one thing, Sam," his mother said. "You cannot share this game with your brother."
Thomas hardly believed his ears! "Why not, Mom?" he asked furiously without much thought.
"Because you don't share any of your toys with Sam and it wouldn't be fair," his mother replied. "If you share some of your toys with Sam, then I am sure he will let you play his game."
"OK," Thomas said slowly, "that seems fair."
From that day on, the two boys shared all their toys and games.
