Story about a toy

Have you ever had a toy that you played with day in and day out?

There is a kid with such a favourite toy. They have played with it a lot and it is worn out. One day the kid gets another toy. They love this one too and wish to play with both toys together. Alas, their hands are too small to hold both.

So they play with the new one. Not because the old one has gotten boring, but so the new one does not feel left out.

Slowly over the days they lose touch with the old one. One day they meet a cool kid with many toys.

The kid is excited. To befriend the cool kid, the kid gives them the new toy and rushes to grab the old toy, but it is nowhere to be found. It is very upsetting. The kid is distraught and looks everywhere, but the toy is not there. Have you ever lost a favourite toy?

Then, it is found! The maid’s kid is happily playing with it. The kid’s mother had given away the toy as it was not in use. The kid is furious and goes to the maid’s kid. The maid’s kid asks if they would like to play, but the toy is angrily snatched away. The maid’s kid starts to cry, and the kid leaves to meet the new kid.

Their heart falls: the cool kid is playing with someone else who is using the kid’s new toy. The kid begins to cry. They make fun of him for crying.

The cool kid’s mother intervenes and returns the toy.

The kid returns home in tears, rejected.

The kid sees the maid’s kid, who has moved on. The kid feels guilt for causing pain to someone. They are afraid they will not be forgiven, but mustering up their courage, they apologize. 

The maid’s kid asks what happened. The kid tells their story. The maid’s kid says okay. The kid begins to cry. The maid’s kid hugs him and says it is okay. The kid asks them if they could be friends. The maid’s kid accepts

The kid offers both toys. The maid’s kid chooses one. They both play until it is time for dinner.

And that is how the kid got to play with both toys at once, and their wish was fulfilled.
