Mrs. Williamson two sons

Mrs. Williamson had two sons. One morning during the holidays, when she was doing the washing for the family, her younger son came and asked her for some money for sweets.
'Sweets are bad for your teeth,' Mrs. Williamson said. 'Take those two oranges instead, and give one to you older brother.' One of the oranges was quite a lot bigger than the other, and as the small boy liked oranges, he kept that one for himself, and gave his brother the smaller one.
When the older boy saw that his brother had a much larger orange than his own, he said to him, 'It's selfish to take the bigger one for yourself. If Mother had given me the oranges, I'd have given you the bigger one.'
'I know you would,' answered his brother. That's why I took it.'

  1. it remains my childhood but as I have a younger sister so I always took the big amount part if I have the chance. we know it happens everywhere whether they are poor or rich. it's a part of humans nature of childhood so, we should take there as good memories as like me. Most of the time it seems we take the whole process wrong and felt, we had been neglected at childhood that impacts a bad impression of bonding together.

    To be safe, short funny bedtime stories for kids is the best way to change the memories be happy to make happy etc. google makes all easy for us all types of the story available to change the momentum, environment.

  2. Hi KokPheng,
