When the chocolate is
shared and gone, the lesson is simple. The 5 to 6 people were the 'rich'
the 'powerful' and the larger group 'poor'. It is easy to discuss with
young people (and adults) that each person in the smaller group had the 'power'
or the chocolate to share. To others however, they chose to gloat over
it. It teaches a valuable lesson in sharing and giving. Children of 7 to
9 years of age may share the chocolate so the impact is not so strong.
(Especially when they have friends
in the 'poorer' group).
