Broken

Summary

Everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity, and the person below is just a stepping stone up the chain of power. When two boys are left home alone with Grandpa going about his usual business in antiques and collectibles, their improvised ball game results in the breaking of a precious vase. Sly big brother attempts to lay the blame on little brother, by hook and by crook, but Grandpa is as savvy a collector as he is a guardian. The little culprits duly accept their punishment, the blows cushioned by a padding of good humour.
