America and Canada were two hardworking brothers who took great pride in their large and loving families. America had 50 kids each named after a state, while Canada had 10 kids named after provinces.

Delaware, America's oldest, was a responsible and level-headed young man. He took the task of guiding his younger siblings seriously, often sacrificing his personal time.

The same was true for Ontario, Canada's oldest. He was a caring elder brother, always extending a helping hand to his siblings, even when he was having a tough day.

Quebec, Ontario's younger brother, was the rebellious one in Canada's family. He didn't like being told what to do and often challenged Ontario's authority.

On a particularly tough day, Ontario was feeling overwhelmed by his responsibilities. Trying his best to keep a brave face, he carried on his duties as the eldest sibling.

However, Quebec had picked this day to challenge Ontario. In front of their other siblings, he insulted Ontario, calling him useless and expressing his dislike for him.

These harsh words from Quebec were a heavy blow for Ontario. Keeping a straight face, he excused himself and left the room, his heart heavy with sorrow.

Delaware noticed Ontario's unusual demeanor. He immediately approached him, offering his silent support and a listening ear to his cousin.

It was then that Ontario broke down crying. The stress, coupled with Quebec's harsh words, had been too much for him. He felt like he was failing in his role as the eldest sibling.

Delaware, being in a similar position himself, understood Ontario's predicament entirely. He assured Ontario that his feelings were normal and that it was okay to feel overwhelmed at times.

He comforted Ontario, sharing his own experiences when he felt pressured by his responsibilities. He talked about the challenges and the joys of being an older sibling.

Hearing Delaware's words, Ontario began to feel a bit lighter. He realized that he was not alone in his struggles. He felt comforted and reassured.

America, who had noticed the interaction between Delaware and Ontario, felt a surge of pride for his son. He was glad to see such maturity and compassion in his eldest.

Canada stood beside America, witnessing the emotional exchange between their sons. He too felt a sense of admiration for Delaware's comforting words to Ontario.

Later that evening, Canada had a calm discussion with Quebec about his behavior. He explained how his words had hurt Ontario, hoping Quebec would understand.

Quebec was initially defensive but then became quiet. He realized the impact of his harsh words. Although rebellious, he did not intend to hurt Ontario that much.

Delaware and Ontario's bond deepened after this incident. They realized that despite their different natures and responsibilities, they were not so different after all.

The next day, Quebec approached Ontario and apologized. It was a difficult thing for him to do, yet he did it. Ontario accepted his apology with a gracious smile.

From that day forward, there was a change in Quebec's attitude. He began to see the importance of showing respect and understanding towards his elder brother.
