The spirit of sharing

Emma and her friends Yaya, Angela, Jenny, were skating at the ice arena. During the break, Emma took out her prize from school. A small packet of colorful soft candy rings. She opened the plastic wrapper and distributed the rings to her friends. The last one was for herself. Then Xuanxuan showed up. Emma gave the last one to Xuanxuan and asked if we have this kind of candy at home. I am positve that we don’t. Yaya tore half of her green one and handed it to Emma. The girls all laughed.

Emma finished her Chinese homework the day before due date. I was happy; she was happy.

“Mommy, what can I do?”

“reading.”

“I’ll go check on my tomato plant.”

Soon the little girl came back with a shining red grape tomato.

“There is only one. Smell it, real tomato smell,” She was very proud of her farming skill.

Emma got the knife out and tried to cut it.

“You can eat it all by yourself,” It’s such a tiny little one.

“I want to share it with my brother,” insisted Emma.

“Here is one for you,” Emma carefully cut the tomato in 4 pieces and asked me to take one before she took it upstairs for daddy and brother.

A mintue later, Emma came down with an empty plate.

“I licked the plate clean. It is sooooooooooooo good.”
