Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a shiny jewel on the ground. It was red and sparkled in the sun. Lily and Ben both wanted the jewel, so they started to fight over it.
"Give me the jewel, it is mine!" Lily shouted.
"No, it is mine, I saw it first!" Ben yelled.
They pulled and tugged at the jewel, but it was too hard to break. They got angry and sad, and forgot to have fun.
A lady who was walking her dog saw them and came over. She smiled and said, "Hello, children. Why are you fighting over this jewel?"
Lily and Ben stopped and looked at her. They felt ashamed and said, "We both want it, it is so pretty."
The lady nodded and said, "I understand, but do you know what this jewel is? It is not a real jewel, it is a candy. You can eat it, but only if you share it."
She took the jewel and broke it in half. She gave one half to Lily and one half to Ben. They looked at the candy and saw that it was dry and hard. It did not taste very good, but they were polite and said, "Thank you, lady."
The lady said, "You are welcome, children. Next time, remember to be kind and generous. Sharing is better than fighting, and real jewels are not always what they seem."
Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We are sorry, lady. We will share and be nice to each other."
They hugged and said sorry to each other. Then they threw away the candy and went to play on the swings. They learned their lesson and had a happy day.
