Robert and Ken lived on the same street. Both children had a good home and lots of nice things. But Ken was unhappy because some of Robert's things were better than his. In other words, Ken was a jealous boy.
Robert and Ken grew up and later got jobs. At first, they both cycled to work every morning. Then Robert bought a motorcycle. Every morning, Robert on his motorcycle rode past Ken on his bicycle, and Ken felt jealous. So Ken bought a motorcycle and he was happy. He was happy until Robert bought a car.
Ken worked hard until he had enough money for a car. He bought a car, and it was as good as Robert's car. There were a lot of other cars on the road, so the journey to work was slower, but Ken was happy. But after a year, Robert bought a big car. Again Ken felt jealous.
So Ken worked very hard, and then he bought an expensive big car. This morning Ken left home in his new car. There were cars in front of him, and none of them could move. However, Ken was happy because his car was bigger, better, and faster than Robert's car.
Suddenly he saw Robert behind him, but Robert was not in car. He was riding a bicycle. It was a new bicycle. The cars moved so slowly so Robert cycled past them easily. Ken watched as Robert cycled away in from of him. He watched him from his big, expensive car ... and felt jealous.
