            ●   Do you eat or wear whatever is given to you by your parents? Or do you make a fuss?
            ●   Do you show your displeasure when you don't like something? (food, clothes, etc.)

          About a hundred years ago, there lived a girl called Letitia in a small town in Europe.

          “Letitia, here, take your soup.”

          “Cabbage soup!! I am not having that!”

          “I want apple stew or berry pudding or something like
          that.”

          “Certainly not a delightful person,” said Letitia's
          father.

          Letitia did not like anything. Nothing was

          good enough for her.

          “See, what father got you,” said Letitia's
          mother “a brand new dress!”

          “What a terrible colour! And it has no tassles,
          and it has no bows or ribbons.”

          “Do you know that Lora got a beautiful
          golden gown the other day? You never got me

          anything nice.”

          “Letitia, this is your new box, with new pencils and even a new pen with it, said Letitia's
          father.”

          “This box looks so old and plain. Max's pencils are so much nicer than these. They have
          faces made over them.”
