Once, there was a girl with no friends at all. She did not have any siblings.She was very, very, very lonely. This young girl one day prayed to the gods and asked, “Dear god, why do you not give me any siblings? I stand here every day playing by myself, wishing to play with someone. Please let me get a sister or a brother.” A bright ray of sunlight immediately peeked through a cloud and god appeared. “If you want a sibling this badly, your wish shall be granted.”
God said. And without another word, he disappeared.

One month later, the girl’s mother was informed that she would have a baby soon. And nine months after that, a handsome baby boy was born. The girl was overjoyed to have a friend at last. They played together, and ate together, and were best friends. But one day, The girl was noticing that her brother was copying her. She did something. She told her brother that she was going up stairs to play ball. She slowly walked up stairs. She saw that the boy was following her, walking up the stairs. She noticed this every day, until she one day turned back at him and yelled, “Why do you always copy me!?” the startled boy looked at her for a long time with sad eyes and said, “I copy you because I do not know anything which you don’t know and you can figure out what to do and you have all the good ideas.” The girl immediately realized how selfish she had been. She hugged her little brother and said, “Thank you for teaching me the lesson I had overlooked.”

Moral: If somebody copies you, it is probably because the find you interesting or want ot be like you.
