Once upon a time, in a small town somewhere in the North that was always decorated and filled with festive lights, lived two siblings, Sophia and Peter. Sophia, with her blonde hair and sweet smile, was a joyful and kind-hearted girl who always helped others. Peter, on the other hand, with his curly black hair, was a naughty boy with a big imagination, always ready to get what he wanted, even if he didn’t necessarily deserve it.

A few days before the new year, the two siblings were talking about the gifts they wanted. Sophia wished for a doll and a book, while Peter dreamed of a super-cool video game that all his friends at school had.

As the days passed, Peter began to worry that Santa might not bring him the game he wanted since he knew he’d been a bit naughty over the past year. Then, an idea occurred to him: What if I took Santa’s sack and chose the presents I wanted?

On New Year’s Eve, Peter stayed awake, waiting for Santa to arrive. When he saw Santa come into the house, he quietly snuck over and, in one quick move, grabbed the big red sack of presents and dragged it secretly into his room.

Peter opened the sack and found a ton of toys and gifts inside, including the super-cool video game he’d wanted so much. He thought about keeping it for himself, but something stopped him. Was it really fair to take it, especially if it was meant for someone else?

Meanwhile, Sophia woke up, ready to see her presents. But instead of finding them under the tree, she found her parents looking confused at the empty space.

“Where did the presents go?” Sophia asked.

Her parents didn’t know, and she began to worry. She remembered seeing Peter leaving the living room in a hurry the previous night.

Sophia went to Peter’s room and found him there, sitting beside Santa’s open sack, looking at the gifts, troubled.

“Peter, did you take Santa’s sack? That’s not fair!” she said, sadly.

Peter couldn’t meet her eyes.

“I just wanted to get the game I’d been wanting for so long,” he whispered. “But now I understand that it’s not fair to take something that might not belong to me. Maybe this game was meant for someone who was waiting for it even more than I was.”

Sophia looked at him kindly and said, “Everyone should get what they deserve and what truly belongs to them, Peter.”
