Answer:
Heteronomous (4 to 7): Someone brought chocolate for the three of us siblings and it was
equally shared among us. The next morning i saw my mother eat the portion that was
supposed to be for my little brother and i immediately got angry. I told her she did the wrong
thing and she ate my brother's part which was only for him and her act would not be forgiven
and she broke the rule. My mother constantly tried to explain that she ate it because my
brother didnt want to but i still stuck to my stance and said she did the wrong thing.
Autonomous (10 and above): Before going to bed one night my younger brother asked me
and my older brother, "if you could wish for some money right now how much would you
wish for?". I said 500rs and my older brother said 1000rs. The next morning we woke up and
under every pillow was a note of the money that we wished for. The same day our dad
mentioned that 2500rs were missing from his wallet and we later found out that my younger
brother had used that money but it took him a while to admit it. I hugged him and kissed him
because i knew he only did it because he wanted to make us happy which was a good
intention.
