Exchange Deal


"Your son has good bargaining powers," Gabi's teacher told Patty after class today.

Teacher then went on to narrate a scene she witnessed earlier that morning involving Gabi and a classmate whom we shall call Ely.

Turns out Ely brought a new toy airplane to school today. He showed it to his classmates before the start of class and promised to let them play with it during recess.

As they began filing in to their classroom, Gabi quietly pulled Ely aside and whispered: "Ely, you want to be my best friend, right?"

"Yes, Gabi. I like" was Ely's answer.

"Well, if you want me to be your best friend then you will share your toy with me. Okay?"

Needless to say, Gabi got to play with Ely's plane during recess and Ely now has a new best friend.
