“Actually,” said Gracie. “I think that’s my pig. It was one of my presents.”

“Presents? I didn’t get any presents. What’d you get presents for?”

“Oh, you know,” said Gracie. “For being borned.”

“Being borned?”

“Yeah. I was borned, so people sent me presents.”

“What’s so important about being borned?” said Bean. “I was borned before, too, you know.”

“YOU WERE?!?!” said Gracie. “You were borned, too?????”

“Yep!” said Bean.

“Hmmm….” thought Gracie. “Then I guess I got presents because people liked me more than you.”

“HAHAHA!!” laughed Bean. “You’re so funny, Gracie!”

“What are you laughing at?” asked Gracie. “It could be true, you know. They really might like me more than you.”

“Oh, Gracie,” said Bean.  “You’ve got a lot to learn around here, kid.”
