Scene 1:

Stage Set: A room with pink wallpaper. Ruth is sitting on the bed and turning the pages of a book, with an expression of awe on her face.

PERCY: (shouting angrily) Ruth, what are you doing in my room? Haven't I told you umpteen times to not touch my books?
RUTH: (tearfully) I was only looking at the pictures in your book because they are so colorful and pretty.
PERCY: Well, now that you have seen them, out you go! And next time, don't touch my belongings without asking me.
(Ruth leaves with a hurt expression on her face.)

Scene 2:

Stage Set: A shoe shop in a busy street, where Percy and Ruth have come to shop with their mom.

MOM: Only one of you can buy a pair of shoes this month, as all the shoes in this shop are way more expensive than I had thought. (Takes Percy to a corner and speaks to her softly.) Percy, since you're the older one, I think you should let your baby sister buy a pair this time. You can buy your favorite shoes next month, can't you, darling?
RUTH: (hears their conversation) No, Mom, let Percy buy these shoes now, so she can wear them to the party next week, and I'll buy a pair for myself next month.
PERCY: (hugging Ruth) Well, you are the best sister in the world!. I realize I have been so mean to you, and I am truly sorry for my behavior. I'll try to be a better sister to you. (Ruth smiles broadly, hugging her sister back.)
