A child cried for a doll. His mother refused.

He begged for days and days.

His mother ultimately gave up.

He opened up the wrapper.

Kissed the doll.

He caressed her everyday.

Told her stories.

Oneday the child swung around the doll.

The doll broke its arm.

The child lost interest in her.

He asked his mother for another one.

He unwrapped the new doll the next day.

Kissed her with more love.

And said," your smile is brighter than the stars."

While the old doll laid on the floor wept.
