    Our protagonist, a young boy, was the apple of his parent's eyes. He ruled the house, basking in the undivided love and attention from his parents.

    The boy was always adventurous and full of energy, but with the arrival of his newborn brother, he felt a pang of jealousy and fear.

    The boy entered the room, his small fingers curling around the crib's edge as he looked down at the sleeping baby. His parents asked him to hold his brother, a request that sent waves of fear down his spine.

    Hesitating for a moment, the boy then gently picked up the baby. The baby's tiny hand wrapped around his finger, eliciting a gasp from the boy.

    As he held his brother, something shifted within the boy. His fear and jealousy melted away, replaced with a profound sense of love and protectiveness.

    He looked into his brother's peaceful face, promising silently to protect him, to be the best big brother he could be. His baby brother, unaware, slept on, safe in his brother's arms.

    Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. The boy was always there for his brother, changing diapers, feeding him, playing with him, and even singing him to sleep.

    He discovered a new side of himself, a gentler and more caring version. He realized how much he loved his brother, and how his love was boundless and infinite.

    The boy no longer feared losing his place as the favorite child. He understood that love wasn't a competition, but an emotion that only grew with sharing.
