Learning to share

  

Once upon a time a boy called Bruno only thought of himself. He never shared anything with anyone. Whenever he got a sweets from his grandparents or uncles, he hided them away, in his closet. He managed to hide it so well no one was able to find it. He considered it to be his treasure. He wanted to eat it all by himself, when he was alone in his room. 
 

His mom would tell him off for his behaviour: 

— Bruno, my son... We need to learn to share what we have with other people. We can’t be selfish and wish everything for ourselves. We receive back on the same proportion we give. 

He then replied: 

— Me? I got it so it’s mine! I don’t want to share it with anyone. 

His smaller brothers Breno and Bianca would eat together the sweets they got as a present. Bruno only looked at them eating, and started to think of all pleasure he would have when he would eat on his own, his sweets.  

Therefore, Bruno went out to play and forgot about the sweets. He hided them so well and time went by.... 

One day, his brothers came home with a package of sweets both got as a present. They came home smilling and showing the sweets they got from a gentleman who was distributing it on the streets to all children. 

Bruno didn’t get any because he was at home at that time. He then asked: 

— Can I have some? I want some sweets too! 

Breno then replied: 

— I am not giving it to you. You never share your sweets with anyone! 

Bruno then got angry and said to his brothers: 

— You are so selfish! Nevermind... I have got a lot hidden from you. I don’t need your sweets! You will see!  

He then ran to his room. He was followed by his brothers, who were anxious to see where Brune kept all his sweets.  

Bruno opened his closed. He then opened a drawer that had at the end of it a hidden place. That’s where he kept all sweets he got as presents from his family.  

He then put his hand inside the drawer and took out all chocolates, sweets and cakes that were hidden there. He then noticed all of them were off! The chocolates looked old, the sweets smelled horrible and the cakes changed its colour!  

Bruno got so disappointed... He then realised that, due to his selfishness, he didn’t share anything with anyone. Even worse! He realised he didn’t even enjoy the lovely things he hidded away with great care. 

Unfortunatelely, he had to bin everything. He then sat at his bed and started to cry. His little brothers had a very good heart. They came closer to him and said: 

— Don’t feel sad, Bruno. 

They shared everything they got on that day with their older brother. 

— I don’t deserve your generosity. I learned a very important lesson today. I now understand what mum always tells me. The more we share, they more we receive. I never

shared anything with anyone. Therefore, you decided to share with me since you have great hearts. I now promisse to be less selfish. I promisse!
