Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big wall with their blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes.
"Look, I have a red block. It is square. It can fit here," Tom said. He put his block on the wall.
"I have a blue block. It is round. It can fit here," Lily said. She put her block on the wall.
They kept adding blocks to the wall. They were happy.
But then, they ran out of blocks. The wall was not finished. There was a big gap in the middle.
"Oh no, we need more blocks. How can we finish the wall?" Tom asked.
Lily looked around. She saw Sam, their friend, playing with his blocks. He had many blocks of different colors and shapes.
"Hey, Sam, can we use some of your blocks? We want to finish our wall," Lily asked.
Sam looked at Tom and Lily. He looked at their wall. He looked at his blocks.
"No, you can't. These are my blocks. I don't want to share. Go away," Sam said. He hugged his blocks.
Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted to finish their wall. They wanted to play with Sam.
"Why is Sam so mean? He has so many blocks. He can share some with us," Tom said.
"Maybe he is afraid. Maybe he thinks we will take all his blocks. Maybe he doesn't know how to play with others," Lily said.
They thought for a while. They had an idea.
"Sam, we are sorry. We don't want to take your blocks. We want to include you. We want to play with you. You can help us finish our wall. You can choose where to put your blocks. You can make the wall more beautiful. You can be our friend," Lily said.
Tom and Lily smiled at Sam. They showed him their wall. They showed him the gap.
Sam looked at Tom and Lily. He looked at their wall. He looked at his blocks.
He felt sorry. He felt lonely. He felt curious.
He put down his blocks. He walked to Tom and Lily. He smiled at them.
"Okay, I will share my blocks. I will help you finish your wall. I will play with you. You can be my friends," Sam said.
They hugged each other. They picked up some blocks. They finished the wall. They made the wall more beautiful. They played together.
They were happy.
The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. It is better to include others than to exclude them. Friendship is more fun than selfishness.
