For his first birthday he got a wooden bed, second birthday a wooden horse, third birthday a wooden car, and so on and on, he wondered why.

Carol decided to approach his parents and confront them about the situation. So the next morning he went up to his mother and father, and said "mom dad" "why are my presents always made of wood? you know for my birthday I really want this R/C car i saw in the telly". He went on and on about his perfect birthday toy, his mom and dad explained how they could not afford something like that at the moment and as much as they would like to buy a lot of stuff for their children they could not, as they were not a wealthy family.

Carol did not understand this and that night Carol went to bed with out supper as he was very upset . He was unhappy and mad, he hated his toys, so he decided if his parents weren't going to buy him what he wanted he was! He went off to sell his toys, the toy his father and mother worked so much to buy for him. The day of his birthday came and Carol's mom made a special supper for him and he had a beautifully raped gift on the table. He was not to exited about the present as he was expecting the same thing as every year. So he decided to go up to his room and bring down the R/C car he had bought for him self.

He showed everyone and started playing with it , his mother said "Carol where in god did u get that toy?" Carol responded "I bough it my self Mommy" and continued playing . Carols mom was upset and felt sad as Carol didn't open his present they had got him. The next morning Carol was playing with his new toy and he didn't want to share with his bothers and dropped it. The R?C car broke, and Carol so upset he ran to his room to grab another toy and continue playing but then he discovered that he had sold all his toys and realized how selfish and ungrateful he had been and started crying.

His parents went to ask what was wrong, Carol told them what had happen, they smiled and said "its okay my darling, open your present" as his mother handed it to him. Carol unwrapped it and discovered it was the R/C car. His parents had worked a little more that week to afford the present for Carol. Carol said thank you to his parents and ran to play.
