Things are so diffrent now a days and it has become dangerous to share. We live in times that are distrustfull. I find it strange when random strangers try to give me something or smile and talk for no reason. That is what it is like growing up in NYC.
But you can reach out to people and if one person doesnt want it another will. You just have to keep trying. It is good to teach children to share things. It is a good lesson.
