The Park Bench Playoff

Every morning, Tom went to the park to practice his basketball shots. The court was small and worn out, but it was the only one nearby. One day, he saw Paul using the court for hours alone.

Tom went up to Paul and said, "Hey, can we take turns? I need some practice too." Paul just laughed and said, "I get here first, so it’s mine all morning."

Tom thought for a moment. The next day, he brought a group of kids from his neighborhood to the court. "Come on, let's play a game together!" he called out. Suddenly, the small court was full of kids laughing and dribbling.

Paul looked annoyed. He tried to play alone, but there was no space. Tom smiled and said, "Sharing the court makes it more fun for everyone." Paul finally agreed to take turns. In the end, they both enjoyed playing together. It was a simple lesson about fairness and sharing.
