בס "ד
David had many nice things.
He had a nice home.
Good food.
Beautiful toys.
David was happy.
But one day he thought:
“I have all of this because of me!”
He became proud.
He did not want to share anything.
Then his father said:
“David, do not forget: everything we have comes from G-d.”
David thought about it.
He looked at his beautiful toys.
His friend came over.
“Can I play too?” he asked.
At first, David wanted to say no.
But then he thought:
“If G-d gives me a lot, I can also use it to do something good.”
“Yes!” said David. “Come, let’s play together.”
David understood.
Having a lot is a blessing.
But it is also a test.
You can become proud and forget G-d.
Or you can be thankful and help others.
Lesson:
Everything we have is a gift from G-d.
Do not be proud. Be thankful.
Use what you have to do good things and help others.
