When a new baby comes in to the house a little boy is rather upset. He feels that he is getting no attention, the baby takes up everyone's time and he is feeling very sorry for himself. When his parents notice he's upset they reassure him that once upon a time he too was a little baby, and needed lots of attention, and one day the baby will be a boy like him. An important lesson gently told for any child facing the problem of not being the only one any more.
