Fr Sean narrated a story he heard from someone in Bootle sometime ago. A small boy who loved cars once happened to see a large car roll up on the street he lived. He ran out to admire it. He saw a man get off it and excitedly asked, "Is that your car?" "Sure, it is," replied the man. "It must be very costly!" stated the boy, to which the man replied, "I got it for free!" The boy could not believe he ears. "For free? How come?" asked the boy. "My brother gave it to me," said the man. The boy longingly looked at the car and said, "I wish..."
Fr Sean paused at this point and asked us, "What would you have said if you were that little boy?" At least my mind completed the boy's sentence thus: I wish I had a brother like that! Fr Sean continued and said, the boy actually said, "I wish, I was that brother!"
There is more joy in giving than in receiving.
