Once upon a time, there were these two kids that enjoyed playing together. One was called EU and the other was called US. For a long time EU had played with US toys, both at his house and US’s place. And they seemed to get along quite well.
One day EU’s father offered him some new toys, and EU was happy to have his own set of toys. The kids started to talk about their toys, “mine is much cooler than yours” and such, but they still played with each other nicely.
The day the father of EU brought home a brand new toy, the biggest they both have ever seen, US complained to his father about not having such a toy. US father told him that he had no money to buy new toys, so he had to play with the old toys he had.
US did not gave up in trying to level things up a bit, so he asked his father to talk to EU’s father about how unfair it was for one of the kids having a bigger toy than the other and the effects of that situation in both homes, which US father did. As you might expected EU father just laughed and told father US not to interfere with the kids playing, they would be just fine.
Finally when EU was preparing to bring his new toy over US’s house to play he managed to arrange a new set of playing rules: “In order to bring your toy in here make sure it is well cleaned, it doesn’t make too much noise in order not to wake up US father, and its not too big , because it could damage the house furniture while playing”.
