zain's bag

Zain wanted a bag, an expensive bag that was very popular at his school. All his friends had bought this bag, and he wanted one, so he went to his dad asking him to buy him one. But your bag is new” said his father remembering Zain that they just bought it a few months ago. Zain tried to explain to his dad how important was it for him to have the bag that everyone else had. “That’s not a good enough reason” replied his dad Zain was very upset, by his dad’s inability to understand him. He was sad all the time, not eating with the family, giving his mom, and dad attitude and his father decided to do something about it. The next day, before dropping off his son at school Zain’s father took his son on a short trip, to a nearby area where kids could only afford to learn, and not buy things. He parked his car next to the school and asked Zain to point out the cool bag he wanted. Zain watched the kids go into the school, some had old bags, some had no bags at all. Some had their books in plastic bags, some in cardboard boxes. Zain’s eyes widened, and his heart softened, he then looked at his dad without saying a word. That same afternoon Zain’s dad took his son to the biggest bag store in town. Here’s the money that you need to buy your favorite bag, said the father. But you also have another option to keep your bag and buy with the money ten bags and give it to some kids who didn’t own one. The next morning Zain was in front of that same school with ten bags, making ten other kids happy
