Adam was a little boy who loved to play. He had a bright smile, a giggle that sounded like tinkling bells, and a heart full of sunshine.
One day, Adam's grandpa gave him a beautiful wooden box. Inside were dozens of shiny, colorful marbles. Adam loved them! He spent the whole afternoon rolling them across the floor, making patterns, and giggling with delight.
His friend Lily came to play. She loved to build things. She saw Adam's marbles and her eyes lit up. "Wow, Adam! Those are amazing!" she exclaimed.
Adam, usually reluctant to share, hesitated. He really loved playing with his marbles all by himself. But Lily's happy face made him think.
Adam took a deep breath and decided to share. "You can play with them too, Lily!" he said. He carefully chose a handful of the most beautiful marbles and offered them to Lily.
Lily's eyes sparkled. Together, they built fantastic marble towers, colorful mazes, and even a tiny marble city! They laughed and played for hours, creating the most amazing things.
As the sun began to set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, Lily helped Adam carefully put away the marbles. "Thank you for sharing, Adam," Lily said, her voice warm and sincere.
Adam felt a warm glow inside. He realized that sharing his marbles with Lily had made playing even more fun! It wasn't just about the marbles; it was about the fun they had together.
That night, as Adam snuggled into bed, he thought about how happy he felt. He had learned that sharing his toys made his friend happy, and that made him even happier. Sharing wasn't about losing; it was about gaining a friend and a whole lot of fun!
He closed his eyes, a smile on his face, dreaming of more adventures with Lily and his beautiful, colorful marbles. And as he drifted off to sleep, he knew that tomorrow would bring even more chances to be kind and share with others.
