Bob Bear was the richest animal in the forest but he was very mean. He never shared. When his poorer neighbours came to his house and asked for food, he shouted, “Go away! It’s MY food!”
One day Sally Squirrel had a birthday party. Bob was not invited but he saw Sally’s friends give her a lot of nice presents. “I’d like some presents,” thought Bob, so he decided to have a party. He went to a shop. “I need some party food,” he told the shopkeeper. “How much is a large brunch of bananas?”
“It’s twenty-five dollars fifty.” she said. Bob was surprised. “That’s too expensive. How much is a bottle of honey?”
“A bottle of honey is twenty-eight dollars thirty,” said the shopkeeper. “A bottle of honey is more expensive.” Bob held up his paw. “I want the cheapest food,” he said. The shopkeeper gave him two black bananas and a small packet of cookies. “Good! These are cheap.” Bob smiled. “They only cost eleven dollars thirty.”
At the party Bob opened his presents—a bag of apples, five cans of orange juice. “These are not birthday presents!” he shouted angrily.
“We know you don’t like sharing so we were afraid there wouldn’t be enough food. That’s why we brought food,” said Fred Fox. “We are happy to share all we have with you because we want to be friends.” Bob’s face went red. “I’m sorry,” he said. “Let’s share this lovely food together, my friends.” From then on, Bob was never mean again.
