A Friend is a Brother

A friend is a brother who was once a bother. ~Author Unknown

Zusha needed a piece of paper to label something. There were some oaktag papers on the floor, so he cut a small rectangle out from one of them. When Gedalya discovered that it was HIS oaktag that Zusha cut, he started screaming, tackling, crying, calling Zusha names, hitting, pinching...
Without a word, Zusha took his scissors, cut a piece from another oaktag that was on the floor to patch up the hole that he made in Gedalya's.

I was so touched.

Later that evening I was cleaning up. I picked up the stack of oaktags to see which ones to save and which ones to put in recycling. And then I saw it- instead of cutting out a patch for Gedalya from Zusha's own oaktag, he cut it from another one of Gedalya's! Oy!

Yes, a friend is a brother.
