Lessons that kids learn, from watching how the world around them works, and from interacting with their, external, environment, that they'd, acquired these, important values that they will keep on, carrying for the rest of their, lives…translated…
Bull's in the fifth grade now, he'd known to save up his allowance from when he was younger, and knew how to share the cash.
Recently, my husband's feet problem resurfaced, couldn't walk like he used to, Bull felt bad, seeing his grandfather limping, generously told my husband, "I'll give you an electric wheelchair then!", this kid's plan was to use the his own savings—from the $6,000N.T. tax refund from the government from before, and the insurance pay-off from his contracting MERS-CoV from before.

Knowing I loved to plant the flowers, awhile ago, he'd begged his parents to take him to the floral market, to get a couple of cacti, and when the total sum exceeded his budget, he'd burst into tears, "I only have a hundred left of my allowance, I'm dirt poor!"
That day, he and I rode our bicycles in the fields, he'd found that my sneakers were a bit, worn, said, "grandma, I'd decided, I'll give you a pair of sneakers for your, birthday." He'd worked hard, saving the money up, waited until my birthday, not only had he insisted that his mom accompany to get my shoes, he'd reiterated, "Grandma, you must, put on your, new shoes!", I'd felt bad for him spending his money on me, and, decided that I shall, buy him the running shoes too on his, birthday, Bull immediately told me, "dad will buy my shoes for me, no worries, grandma!"
The class was making a uniform, the students were asked to design the shirts themselves, then, vote on them. Bull's class were all dragons for the zodiac signs, Bull's dad's helping him making a pattern of the dragons, the dragons got voted, and, Bull's dad made fun, "Bull, I drew everything, you didn't do anything in this drawing!", he'd responded, "Surely I had, there's the need of an extra color printed as the dragon got printed out, thirty dollars per extra color, and, the $780 that's needed for the entire class, that came out of my, allowances."
Such a good, "element"! I truly hope, that he carries this heart of giving to others as he grows, older, and have a, happy, life.
So, this is how generous this young kid is, he'd, saved all of his allowances, and wasn't, stingy when it came time to, share his money, when his adult counterparts needed something, and, this is a value, that's not taught by words, but, by this kid's watching his adult counterparts, interact, that he'd, picked up on this generosity toward, others.
