Translation by Rabbi Lazer Brody

When Shimon came home with his new toy, his mother asked, "Where did you get that gift from?"

 

"Nachman and his mother gave it to me as a present; I told them that they didn’t have to, but they insisted and said that it would make them very happy if I would accept the gift. I didn’t want to hurt their feelings by refusing their act of kindness. I wanted to make them feel happy, so I thanked them very much and accepted the gift."

 

"Thank You, Hashem," said Shimon’s mother. "Thank You for giving my son such a wonderful friend with such a kind, generous, and sensitive heart. Thank You for enabling my son to spend his time with a truly righteous friend."
