Jay was bragging about his Xbox one day. He was telling me
about what he can do with it and all the fun he gets for having one Xbox. He
likes to play video games and enjoys it so much. Jay is a very smart boy in our
class. In fact, we are classmate in the fifth grade and so we kind of became
friends. We compete with each other but at times help each other too. We are
friends in some ways and rival for the class’ number one.
He turned to me and asks if I have an Xbox. And I said no.
“What? You don’t have an Xbox? How could you live without an Xbox? He continued
on. How about a xbox360? Do you have any
video games? Everything he have, he ask me if I have those and of course, I
don’t.
Finally, he said to me “I feel sorry for you Sarah.”
“Why?” Sarah asks him on the spot.
“I mean, how could you survive a life without any
entertainment? You don’t have xbox, xbox 5, xbox 6, etc ” Jay responded with a
proud heart, thinking Sarah needs a little sympathy.
Sarah’s response was – you know Jay, I may not have any of
the things you got but
- I got 7 acres to for everyday adventure and there's always something new,
-5 cats to play with and who enjoys my company (Jingle, Ninja, Shelly, Glitter and Kittune)
-3 chickens that lay
eggs for me to be healthy (Hope, Pride and Joy),
-2 bunnies to hop around with (Dawn & Tuxedo)
-1 dog to protect me from bad people when I do my daily exercise (Bo Derek),
-4 sheep to comb and sell their fur to earn some money for my college (Pappy, Lammy, Rammsie, S.S.)
and a llama to ride for fun (Divinity). Did I mentioned, their fur also makes money?
That is a lot of entertainment for me.
These are real entertainment in life, great learning, at the same time having fun. At
least, I don’t sit all day and talk to a box.
Jay was speechless, nods and realized that his Xbox is
nothing compared to all the things Sarah enjoys in her life because he got none
of those either. And Sarah’s got an Ipod and movies to watch if she wants to in
her spare time and an xbox in a box stood by too. Sarah forgot to mention that!.
