Once upon a time there was a proud little boy. He loved shiny things, so one day his mommy gave him a beautiful crystal. It shined and sparkled in the sunlight.
The little boy was so excited with his prize that he wanted to show it to everyone. He ran out in the garden, shouting and waving the crystal around.
Suddenly he saw a puddle. Without thinking, he bent down and started to pour the crystal into the puddle. He watched and smiled as the crystal turned the puddle into a sparkling sea.
Just then, his mommy arrived. "Why did you pour the crystal away?" she asked, a bit sadly.
But the little boy's face suddenly lit up. "See how proud the puddle looks now!" he said.
His mommy smiled and hugged her proud little boy. "That was a wonderful gift for the puddle," she said. 
The boy beamed and went back to playing in the garden, happy that he had brought a smile to his mommy's face.
