This is a good topic for the reader "The needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many." We see Cody's answer is motivated bty his PTSD: "Cody half-grinned. "Let'em starve! At least I'll be fed!" he replied." You don't try to teach someone a lesson who has PTSD. Cody knows how to play the game of survival.

This was realistic
Comment from Mabaker
Wise man Sheriff Daniels. Were it that easy to get all of life's lessons across. Some have to be drummed in repeatedly and still kinda miss the mark even then. It isn't easy being a parent, but I'll bet that has been said quite a few times over the centuries as well. Regards Anne. (Mabaker.)

Glad you enjoyed this little tale.
No, it is not always that easy for a parent to get the message through to a child!
Some times, as you said, "It has to be drummed in".

Comment from Joan E.
Thanks for sharing another Cody story and letting us know there will be more to come. I relished the way the father invited his son into his lap and told him a story to illustrate a valuable lesson. I liked the way he rewarded Cody for making the right decision, and reminded him to be grateful as well as unselfish. Cheers- Joan

Glad you enjoyed this portion of the story.
Cody and the Sheriff do share a close bond, especially for all that Cody has been through in his life.
Not sure how familiar you are with the backstory, but do invite you to stay tuned. Much more to come.

Thank you for your addition context and invitation to keep reading about Cody. Smiles- Joan

Who can resist fried chicken? There can never be enough. Reminds me of my mother. She always waited her turn and settled for a piece of back or a wing. We thought those were really the pieces she liked. Excellent presentation, and the story is in keeping with Cody's and Daniels' characters. A boy would naturally think he was entitled to his share, not thinking about the others. Daniels showed a good way of bringing the reality home to him. judi

Glad you enjoyed this little tale.
Cody needed to learn about selfishness and sharing.
Many FanStorians have told me how much they enjoyed this one.
More of these types of tales to follow.

Hi Brett,
I enjoyed this piece and the nice moral tale involved. Good framework to support it.
Oh and by the way, the quote that you took this from is actually correct. It comes from Start Trek III when Kirk risks everything to save Spock's life. Spock asks him why and this is Kirk's response to him word for word. (mirroring the words {the other way round as you have used here} used by Spock when he sacrifices himself for everyone in the previous movies).
Good stuff
GMG
Whether many fanstorians agree that it's wrong is irrelevant. It is in fact correct! LOL

Giraff,
Yes I knew this was from Star Trek.
Yes I turned it around to fit my story's needs.
Yes, I took the idea from your contest.
Yes I was going to enter your contest.
No I did not enter your contest although I do wish you well with that adventure.

G'day Brett. Very nicely written, mate. I always like a good yarn with a moral lesson in it. It's good to see Cody safe in this chapter. It's nice how most people learn these little lessons and pass them on.
Great job.
Cheers Fez

What a wonderful story this turned out to be. Cody should be very happy to have a dad like him. He tells him in ways that he'll understand everything his new dad is teaching him. Bravo my friend. Kat

Brett, Cody's Corner,
I love these stories! You, also, must have much insight and a gift for teaching children. Truly exceptional. Impressive and well written.

Excellent explanation to the moral of the piece. then it should read the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the one.
Love Cody's corner and you will be able to reach a lot of people, not just kids.
Great piece

Glad you enjoyed this little tale.
When I read the prompt Giraffmang included with his contest, "Don't Quote Me," which is where the idea for this story came from, I thought it should be as you said, "The needs of the few outweigh the needs of the one".
But it was listed on his contest the other way around, so I changed it to what I thought it should be.
Apparently, many Fanstorians agree with me.
-
yes the other way is wrong, but that is my opinion and it makes the piece confusing a little.
