One crisp October morning, Sammy found a golden acorn cup hidden under a big oak leaf. His friend Maya the chipmunk looked at the shiny cup with wide eyes. "That is the prettiest cup in the forest!" Maya said. Sammy wanted to keep it all to himself in his hollow log. But when he saw Maya shivering in the chilly wind, he filled the cup with warm berry tea and handed it to her. Maya smiled brightly and shared her toasted seeds with Sammy. From that day on, Sammy realized that sharing made his treasure even more special. What is the central message or lesson of the story?
