Tristan, the little lion who believed he had everything.

Source

There was once a little lion named Tristan, who lived in the middle of the jungle with his parents and other neighbors. They were very close animals and whenever they could, they helped each other so that they could live in harmony with everyone.

Tristan was playful but also very spoiled by his parents, whenever the little lion wanted something, his parents gave it to him, no matter what sacrifice they had to make, the latest toys, clothes and shoes, even objects that he did not use . Tristan always got what he wanted, he became a lion who did not value things, did not share or had many friends, although he believed that he was popular for having all modern items.

Tristan was very happy because her birthday was near and she asked her parents to give her a super party, with a big cake, candy, balloons and attractions to invite all her classmates and neighbors.

When the day of the party arrived, Tristan was surprised to realize that none of his classmates attended, there were few guests and they were neighbors. He did not understand what was happening, and he just waited to see if with the passing of the hours more people would arrive, but nobody arrived. Tristan ran to his room because he felt without friends and that it was not important to anyone.

The neighbors told the parents that there were animals who did not want to go because Tristán treated them badly, he did not listen to them, nor play, nor share, he was a litlle who only thought about him and his benefits. Upon hearing this, the parents began to cry and went to meet their young son.

They told Tristan not to be sadder, that there were things that had to change, that they would not be more complacent with him, since there are more important things than material things. From now on he should learn the value of friendship, love, and good manners. That he should learn to share and play equally with his teammates because nobody is better than anyone and all those luxuries that they could give him was due to much effort and sacrifice.

At first Tristan was affected by the change of attitude of his parents, but then he realized that it was for his own good, as he began to share more with his classmates and to understand why they did not want to spend time with him. He learned that his attitude was wrong and that it was better to play with all his friends in the jungle and the rivers, which gave him more happiness than playing alone. Old toys, gifts for other animals that almost did not have, he was more orderly, did not complain so much and helped their parents at home, understood the value of things.

The parents were happy for the change of their son, and they laughed when they saw him play and run with his other friends. Tristan was a happy child.

End.

Sometimes parents believe that giving everything material to their children is a good way to educate them and it is a mistake, since there must be limits. Children must learn the value of things and the importance of education, so that they will be great people in the future. It is important to instill in children a sense of friendship, sharing, and respect for parents and others. As my mother says, consenting is not educating, it does not do anyone any good.
