Their sibling rivalry threatens to overshadow Cherry's special day. In this tale wise Chomchom, Their pet Beagle help them understand each other.
The air in the living room hung thick with tension. Cherry, her face crumpled in a pout, clutched the fluffy pink unicorn tightly to her chest. Lee, his brow furrowed, hovered nearby, his eyes fixed on the coveted toy.

"It's mine!" Cherry declared, her voice trembling with frustration. "It's my birthday present!"

"But I want to play with it too," Lee whined, reaching for the unicorn.

"No!" Cherry shrieked, pulling the unicorn away. "It's not fair! You never share your things with me!"

Their parents exchanged weary glances. This sibling squabble had been escalating all day. The once joyful atmosphere of Cherry's birthday had been replaced by a tense standoff.

Suddenly, Chomchom, their beloved beagle, padded into the room, his tail wagging tentatively. He sat down between Cherry and Lee, his big brown eyes filled with concern. He whined softly, nudging Cherry's hand with his wet nose.

Chomchom whined again, then trotted over to Lee, gently nudging his hand with his nose. He then ran back to Cherry, nudged her hand again, and then ran back to Lee. He repeated this a few times, seemingly trying to mediate between them.

Lee, watching Chomchom's antics, couldn't help but chuckle. "He wants us to play together," he said, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Cherry, still holding the unicorn tightly, looked at Lee. "But he doesn't understand," she said. "This is my special toy."

Lee, remembering how much he cherished his prized Lego castle, understood. "I know," he said. "It's okay. You don't have to share it if you don't want to."

Cherry looked surprised. "Really?"

Lee nodded. "It's your birthday present. You should be able to enjoy it without having to share it if you don't want to."

Cherry smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. "Thanks, Lee."

Lee smiled back, feeling a sense of pride in himself for understanding Cherry's feelings.

Chomchom, sensing the easing of tension, wagged his tail excitedly and licked both Cherry and Lee's hands.

Cherry, feeling a surge of affection for her brother, decided to make a compromise. "Okay," she said, "you can play with it for five minutes after dinner."

Lee, surprised by her generosity, beamed. "Really?"

Cherry nodded. "But only for five minutes."

Lee agreed, and the tension in the room finally dissipated. They spent the rest of the afternoon playing with other toys, laughing and enjoying each other's company.

Later that evening, as Cherry and Lee were playing with the unicorn, Lee turned to his sister. "Thank you for letting me play with it," he said sincerely.

Cherry smiled. "You're welcome. But remember," she said, "you don't have to share your things if you don't want to. Everyone has the right to decide what they want to share and with whom."

Lee nodded, understanding. He realized that while sharing was important, respecting other people's boundaries was equally important.

Chomchom, curled up at their feet, watched them with sleepy eyes. He had successfully mediated the sibling squabble, teaching them a valuable lesson about sharing, respect, and the importance of
