Mom: Hmm...It is your chair.

I know, you used to love it,
when you were little,

but you're bigger now.

Maybe you could
give it to Margaret?

Daniel: But...

it's mine.

But sometimes, when you
don't use something

or when it's too small,

you can choose to
give it to someone else.

Giselle: So, some
people have so much,

and some people have so little,

we can all work together

And instead of throwing
things out that are extra,

we can instead pay it forward.

I cut out a square

And sewed the squares together
to make this big blanket.
