Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys, but they did not like to share. They always fought over who got the best toy, the biggest toy, or the newest toy. Their mom was sad to see them fight so much.
One day, she had an idea. She gave them a big leather ball as a gift. She said, "This is a special ball. It is very old and very strong. It can bounce very high and very far. But you have to play with it together. You have to unite and be a team. If you fight over it, it will not work."
Ben and Sam were curious. They wanted to try the leather ball. They took it outside and started to bounce it. They were amazed by how high and far it went. They had to run and catch it. They had to pass it to each other. They had to work together. They had fun. They forgot to fight.
Their mom watched them from the window. She smiled. She was happy to see them unite and be a team. She thought, "They are gifted boys. They can do anything if they cooperate." She was proud of them. She hoped they would always remember the lesson of the leather ball.
