Susie Sheep has never liked to share in the past. She wouldn't let others play with her toys or share her treats during lunch. When others shared, she would be the first person to step up and accept the goodies of others. However, in the park after school, she met a couple of kids who had nothing and learns about the power of sharing with others and how giving a little can make a significant difference in the lives of those without.
