________________ CONTENTMENT IS A Way To HAPPINESS 15 - Contentment is a Way to Happiness halin comes from a family where his parents buy him every new toy that comes out on the market. Shalin has to have the toy to keep him happy even if he does not use it in a few days when he gets a new toy. Neil on the other hand, gets a toy on his birthday or when he does well in school. Normally Neil doesn't mind as much, but he really wants this new train set that he saw at Shalin's house. Shalin: Hey Neil, why don't you come over to my house? I got the new train set that everyone wants. Neil: Shalin, you get a new toy every week. You must have more toys than anyone I know. Shalin: Yeah, I probably do. I like to get new toys. Neil: Yeah, but when do you get a chance to play with them? Shalin: Tusually play with each toy for a few days and if I really like it, I play with it for about a week. Then I get a new one. Neil: I can't imagine having so many toys. Shalin: In a few weeks, it'll be my birthday. Then I'm going to get a whole lot of presents. I just hope people don't give me any clothes. I hate getting clothes. Hey, do you think I should send a list of all the toys I want with my birthday invitation? That way, people will know exactly what to give me. Neil: I don't think that's such a great idea. Shalin: It doesn't matter anyway. My parents will get me what I want if I don't get it at my party. Neil: Just like that? They give you whatever you want? Shalin: Yeah, sometimes I have to throw a fit, but I usually get it. They travel a lot for work, so when they come back they always bring me any toy I ask for.
