The Toy Tug-of-War

brothers

Once upon a time, two brothers were playing in their room. The older brother was five years old, and the younger brother was three. They both wanted to play with the same toy. They pulled it back and forth, neither wanting to let go. Suddenly, they both fell and started to cry.

The older brother ran out of the room, tears streaming down his face. He sat by the door, feeling upset and alone. Mama heard the commotion and came to see what was wrong. She knelt down beside him and gave him a big hug. 'It's okay to feel sad,' she said gently.

Mama sat down and talked to the older brother about sharing. She explained how sharing makes everyone happy. Just then, the younger brother came toddling over. He climbed onto Mama's lap, sniffling a little. Mama hugged them both tightly, making them feel safe and loved.

The brothers looked at each other, realizing they both felt better now. 'I'm sorry,' said the older brother, offering the toy to his sibling. The younger brother smiled and said, 'Let's play together.' Mama watched them with a smile, proud of her boys. And so, they played happily, sharing all their toys.
