We have two boxes of peaches that are meant to bottled. Zoe asked for a peach and I only agreed to let her have a peach if should would listen to the story of The Grasshopper and the Ants. She agreed and I had a hope that she would, after hearing the story, consider that perhaps a peach in the winter months would be better than a peach today. We read the story and when asked if she understood the story she replied she did. I encouraged her to let the peaches go into the winter store. She wouldn't agree. When I asked if she really understood the story she said she had, she then replied, "that wasn't the deal we made, I only had to listen to the story to get the peach".
You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.
