Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could make towers, bridges, houses and anything they wanted. They had fun with their blocks.
One day, Ben had an idea. He wanted to make the biggest stack of blocks ever. He took all the blocks he could find and started to pile them up. He did not care if they matched or fit well. He just wanted to make his stack very high.
Sam watched his brother and felt sad. He wanted to play with some blocks too, but Ben had taken them all. He tried to ask Ben to share, but Ben said no. He said he needed all the blocks for his stack. Sam felt angry and lonely. He wished he had a friend to play with.
Ben kept adding more and more blocks to his stack. He was proud of his work. He thought his stack was the best thing ever. He gazed at his stack and smiled. He did not notice that his stack was wobbly and unstable. He did not notice that some blocks were falling off. He did not notice that Sam was crying.
Suddenly, a loud noise made Ben turn around. He saw that his stack had collapsed. All his blocks were scattered on the floor. He felt shocked and sad. He had worked so hard to make his stack, and now it was gone. He looked at his blocks and realized that they were just ordinary blocks. They were not special or fun by themselves. He needed someone to play with them.
He looked at Sam and saw that he was still crying. He felt sorry and ashamed. He had been selfish and mean to his brother. He had not shared or cared. He had not been a good brother. He ran to Sam and hugged him. He said he was sorry and asked him to forgive him. He said he wanted to play with him and share his blocks.
Sam smiled and hugged him back. He said he forgave him and he loved him. He said he wanted to play with him and share his blocks too. They picked up their blocks and started to make something together. They made a castle, a car, a train and anything they wanted. They had fun with their blocks and with each other.
The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. It is better to play with others than to play alone. Being selfish and mean makes you and others unhappy. Being generous and kind makes you and others happy.
