10 Once Charlotte ripped off the wrapping, she surveyed with delight an entire box of chocolates. Inside, the pieces were neatly arranged in rows—milk chocolates and dark chocolates with yummy fillings. “Oh, can I try one?” asked her little brother, Norbert, reaching his hand out to take a piece. “No! They're mine!” shouted Charlotte, snapping the lid back on the box. She rushed back into her room as her brother yelled after her: “Selfish!” But Charlotte didn't care; these chocolates were hers! She wasn’t about to let him spoil her joy! Comfortably seated on her bed, Charlotte was ready to savor the chocolates all by herself. To start with, she chose one wrapped in pretty silver paper. She unwrapped it and felt the chocolate shell crunch between her teeth. Then a praline creammelted in her mouth. Mmm... it was so-o-o good! She picked out another one covered in hazelnut chips and ate it in one bite. She gave a deep sigh of contentment. How good it tasted... Charlotte owns her emotions.
