The Little Boy and the Sailing Boat
There’s a story about a little boy who made a sailboat. He took it to the river to test it and amazingly, it sailed quite well. But then a strong wind blew the boat away and it was lost.
A few days later he was walking through town and, to his surprise, he saw his little boat in the window of a shop. He went inside and said to the owner “ That little boat is my boat. I made it.” “I’m sorry” the owner said. “Someone brought that boat in yesterday and I bought it. If you want it, you have to buy it.”
The little boy was determined to get his boat back and so, over the next couple of weeks, he worked hard and saved all the money he made until he had enough.
Finally, he went back to the shop and bought his boat back. As he was walking about the shop, he lifted his boat in the air and said “Little Boat you are twice mine. I made you - and I bought you back!”
