Once upon a time there was a three-year-old girl named Jasmine

Once upon a time there was a three-year-old girl named Jasmine. She had curly hair and bright eyes that looked like little stars.. Jasmine loved playing with dolls, run in the yard and, especially, receive tight hugs from mom. Everything was perfect in Jasmine's world, until one day, Mom and Dad brought home a new member of the family: little brother Bento. Bento was little, cuddly, and everyone said he was a sweetheart. But Jasmine didn't find this amusing at all.. She noticed that Mom was always busy with Bento. He cried a lot, and when mommy would calm him down, Jasmine was waiting. This made Jasmine feel something strange inside her.: a mixture of anger and jealousy. "Why does Bento need so much care??", Jasmine wondered, with his arms crossed and a sullen face. "And why doesn't mommy play with me like before??" Jasmine wanted her mommy back all to herself, and sometimes, I felt like crying like Bento, just to draw attention. Certo dia, while Jasmine tried to build a tower with her colored blocks, Bento started crying louder than ever. Mom ran to calm him down, and the Jasmine tower collapsed. She felt the anger rise inside her like a volcano ready to explode.! without thinking, Jasmine gave the blocks a push, spreading everything on the floor. Mom heard the noise and came back into the room.. Seeing the mess and Jasmine's angry little face, she knelt down beside her and hugged her tightly. "Jasmim, my love, It's okay to feel this way. Mommy is here to help you." "I don't like Bento!", shouted Jasmine, sobbing. "He steals you from me!" Mom smiled and said: "he knows, Jasmim, Bento is a baby and needs a lot of care, but that doesn't mean I love you any less. You are my first star, and Bento is our new little star. I love you both in different ways, but love is always the same size: gargantuan!" Jasmine was still not convinced, so mom had an idea.
