Once, there were two boys, born on the same day, but of opposite fortunes. The older boy was born of a wealthy family and the younger boy was born of a poor family. These two boys never knew the other existed until they were young men. As children they unknowingly shared a common interest— trains. The older one was given every model train he ever wanted. Often he would grow bored with a model and let it fall into disrepair. The other boy looked forward to every one of his birthdays and Christmases, wanting to receive the longed-after toys for gifts.
