“There was one particular bear,” Audrey said. “It was white. I was in love with it.”

Her mother told her, “You aren't needy. The people who sent these trusted me to give these things to people who are needy.”

Audrey was desolate as she watched her mother wrap the soft, white bear in Christmas paper and ribbons for another child. “I had to give it up. It was tough for me. I had to learn the lesson of giving.”
