Tiffanys mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didnt give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.Whenever I didnt get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffanys mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my morn would calmly say Poor Tiffany. I couldnt understand her. She shouldnt be feeling sorry for Tiffany! I thought. She should be feeling sorry for me.One day, I couldnt help saying to Mom, Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her? I burst into tears.My mom sat down next to me and said softly. Yes, I do feel sorry for her.

Maybe shell find out that she cant have it. Her mother wont always be around to give her money, and whats more, money cant buy everything. She continued, I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. Youll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she wont. Youll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she wont.
