The crow accidentally found a piece of soap. After washing its feathers in the basin, the crow became fragrant all over. Deciding to share this soap with other animals, the mouse, rabbit, little monkey, and big bear all took turns using it. Finally, it was the elephant\u2019s turn. After the elephant finished bathing, the soap was nowhere to be found. The crow found it strange and anxious, thinking the elephant was playing a joke on it. The crow, with a kind heart, shared its good thing with its friends, but in the end, the item was gone. We all know that soap gets smaller as it is used, which is an inevitable fact. The crow didn\u2019t expect that its well-intentioned sharing would result in losing what it originally possessed. Although the crow was a bit reluctant to part with its soap, when it smelled the soap fragrance emanating from its good friends, it felt happy and thought it didn\u2019t matter.<\/p>

With an increasing number of single-child families in society, coupled with busy parents compensating with material things, children tend to think that everything is for their exclusive enjoyment, and others are not allowed to touch. In such situations, what can parents do?<\/p>

The joy of sharing is an abstract emotion that requires the accumulation of years along with the experiences of many life events. It is not something that can be achieved overnight. The most effective education on sharing comes from the example set by parents and educators. There is a lady who works as the chief editor in a publishing house. During her daughter\u2019s summer vacation, she took her to the office. At that time, the company was handling a batch of books donated to children in remote areas, totaling a few hundred books.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The daughter asked her, \u201cMom, do you have to donate so many books? You could sell them for a lot of money! You might incur a huge loss this way. Can\u2019t you donate fewer books?\u201d The lady replied, \u201cNo one is telling me how much to donate, and no one is forcing me to do it. It\u2019s my own choice. What are you worried about?\u201d The little girl said, \u201cI\u2019m afraid you\u2019ll donate all the books, and we\u2019ll lose too much. Then we won\u2019t have any money ourselves!\u201d The lady teased, \u201cWell then, I won\u2019t donate at all. After all, those other kids aren\u2019t my children. Why should I care if they have money to buy books?\u201d Playing along, the mom intentionally teased her daughter. The girl clarified hastily, \u201cI didn\u2019t mean not to donate at all. I just meant you should donate fewer books! Keep some for later, and donate gradually!\u201d<\/p>

The mom, who works as an editor, told her, \u201cDaughter, if I take these books to sell and make money, our family would certainly be happy. But now that I\u2019ve donated the books, many children will be happy because they have books to read. I will also be happy because these books may give them some hope and dreams for life and the future. My happiness cannot be measured in terms of money.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Parents are the best role models for children. In daily life, when parents show care and assistance to others, it naturally has a subtle influence on their children. Parents should set an example of sharing with others, regularly taking the initiative to care for and assist others. The place where the author lived during childhood was populated with many residents, resembling what Cantonese films call \u201cone floor, fourteen households.\u201d Although having many people naturally leads to friction, neighbors were accustomed to sharing delicious snacks they made with everyone. Additionally, in daily life, common items such as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar were borrowed from one another. These small acts cultivated a sense of sharing in our generation.<\/p>

The emphasis in \u201cWilling to Share\u201d is on the word \u201cjoy.\u201d It is about feeling genuine happiness from being able to share with others. Only those who are truly tolerant, generous, and enthusiastic are willing to share with others. Similarly, only those who are genuinely confident, kind, and open-minded are happy to do so. In other words, if children can truly enjoy sharing, they possess all the valuable qualities mentioned above, which are more important than achieving good grades.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
