Once there were two brothers Benson and Tony. Little Tony was an optimist while Benson was an abject pessimist. Tony loved their home and he loved playing in his garden all the time. Benson was never happy and a couple of times, he even ran away from home.
In desperation, Papa Nick visited his Psychologist friend who told him how to remedy the situation: "Go to the store and by Benson the nicest car you can find; and for little Tony, just fill his room with horse manure". Papa Nick had serious reservations but followed the instructions of his friend.
Come Christmas morning, Papa Nick went to Benson’s room, and here was Benson kicking at his shining new car, saying: "This wreck of a car is rubbish! I’ll bet it’s not as fast as Kim’s red car, and it doesn’t look anywhere as nice as Louie’s silver car".
Totally shattered, Papa Nick went to little Tony’s room with great sadness, but when he opened the room, he was greeted by a laughing boy shoveling like mad. “What are you doing Tony?“ said papa Nick, and little Tony just kept shoveling and he said: “You can’t fool me papa - where there’s manure, there’s gotta be a pony“.

Apologies to Dr Murray Banks.
