The Latest, The Biggest And The Best (1)
Once upon a time...
There was a little girl who always got what she wanted. Her parents would buy her everything she asked for. She had all the latest toys, all the best clothes, all the sweets she could eat and all the best that money could buy - the latest, the biggest and the best. If she didn’t get what she wanted right away, she would scream and scream until she got it. She always got what she wanted. Her parents would not dream of not giving their little darling what she wanted.
You would think that the little girl would be happy with all the things that she had, but she was not, she wanted more. She was rude, badly behaved and some people would say that she deserved to be smacked, but her parents would not dream of doing that.
When the little girl got her dinner she would pick out only the bits that she wanted to eat and all the food that was good for her she would throw away. When she got fed-up with some of her toys, she would smash them and scream, “I want more.”
One day the little
girl’s parents told her that Christmas is coming and they would not
be able to buy her the latest presents this year, because they did
not have a lot of money. “What,” said the little girl. “I want
the latest, the biggest and the best. What do you mean you
don’t have any money!” And she screamed, “YOU WILL HAVE TO GET
SOME.” Well, the little girl’s parents were beside themselves.
“We have to find the money somehow to buy our little darling
sweetheart what she wants,” said the parents, in a pathetic voice.
