Sam adjusted his designer watch as he walked home from school with Blaze and Grover. "Hey Sam, want to come over to my place tomorrow?" Blaze asked excitedly. Sam hesitated, having never visited Blaze's home before. "Sure, sounds fun," Sam replied, curious about where his younger friend lived.

The next day, Sam's driver dropped him off at Blaze's small apartment building. Inside, Sam noticed the cramped living room with worn furniture and patched-up walls. Blaze proudly showed Sam his shared bedroom where a single shelf held his few treasured possessions. "This is my favorite toy car," Blaze said, holding up a dented metal car that Sam realized was nothing like his collection of remote-controlled vehicles.

Despite the modest surroundings, Blaze seemed genuinely happy showing Sam around. They played board games with missing pieces that Blaze had creatively replaced with buttons. Sam was surprised by how much fun he had eating simple sandwiches for lunch instead of his usual gourmet meals. When Grover joined them later, the three boys laughed together as they played in the small community park nearby.

On the ride home, Sam stared at his expensive sneakers feeling a strange mix of emotions. He thought about Blaze's excitement over things Sam took for granted every day. That night, Sam looked around his spacious bedroom filled with gadgets and toys, truly seeing his privilege for the first time. "I'm really lucky," Sam whispered to himself, making a mental promise to be more grateful and to never again judge others by what they owned.
