About This Quote

The story is about a brother and sister who had never met. They are both only children. When they were younger, their parents had to go away on a business trip. When they returned, they gave the children one toy each.

The toys were actually the same toy, just in different color and with different names. The girls' was named Chris and her brother's was named Bett. The story is about how the two of them became friends and how when they grew up, their parents still gave them the same toy even when it wasn't their birthday anymore.
