Funny stories from our lives.

I have an older brother. There's almost a 4-year difference, and I was about 6 years old. One day, somehow, he and a friend got some chewing gum. Back then, it was a real treat. So, I kept hanging around him. He got tired of it and tore off a tiny piece for me. Naturally, I pouted and wrinkled my nose. He immediately said, "Don't look at how small it is; it's Bubble Gum!" I immediately thought, "So what?" He told me, "Well, you're just little, and you don't know yet, but it's time you learned. Just keep chewing this gum, and it will get BIGGER, as long as you're not greedy." Suddenly, a "business plan" formed in my mind: how, to whom, how much, and what I would trade it for :D. And I kept calculating everything so that those I gave it to wouldn't have time to chew it more than I did. And my brother, "Zhuk," kept asking all day, "So, what's up?" And what could I tell him? I wouldn't admit that I was a cheapskate :D. What a pest! I chewed some tiny piece of gum (about the size of a match head) for 3 days. :D :D :D
