Like the story “the lesson” by Toni Bambara; I have had a similar experience to what the children are described having, on how rich kids have more than the poor.

I would desire a cell phone because almost everyone in the school I went to had one. Although in contrast to the story, I didn’t go to a fancy market nor had anyone teach me about social inequality at the time. I would demand for things that my parents couldn’t give me. All
