NAME:

being greedy

The twins Zig and Zag are playing in the living room.
“I'm tired of our toys,” Zig complains.
She finishes a puzzle and puts it on the shelf.
'Then let's get another one from the playroom,' Zag suggests.
- Good idea! - Zig cheers up - We have to take an old toy to exchange for another, right?
- That. That's how it works - laughs Zag.
Zig picks up the puzzle and Zag goes to get the beach ball. They get on the bike.

– Hi, Zig! Hi Zag! - Greets Mrs. Dino when they arrive at the store – I see you've come to visit the playroom!
- That's right! – they say together, running to the shelves full of toys.
– Hey, this is my old rubber duck! - Zag whimpers - Nobody wants you, Ducky? - She mutters.
They search the shelves from top to bottom.
– I want this princess crown! – chooses Zag.
– I want this book and this little horse! – Zig says.
“Wait a minute, Zig,” says Mrs. Dino, frowning and approaching them.
– You can only exchange one toy for another. Not for two.
– But I want both… – Zig insists.
- I get it. They're both cute. But you don't want to be greedy, do you? - Mrs. Dino asks kindly.
“No…I don't think so,” says Zig.
Zig returns the horse to the shelf. Then she smiles.
- Wait! I can come back next week and exchange this book for the horse! I can still play with both of them, just not at the same time.
