Are not all children perfectly imperfect? Is not wisdom for all houses, and not one house over another?

Jesus was walking with all of his disciples and they were about an hour into their walk and he told them all to pick up a rock. So Paul, he picks up this really big rock, and Peter picked up a really small rock. The others picked up different sized rocks. They kept walking carrying their rocks all day and they got to where they were going they put them all down on the table. And Jesus he turned their rocks into this great feast. His disciples thought that was really great.

Next day same thing. They were walking and about an hour into their walk he told them all to pick up a rock. Again Paul picked up a big rock, and Peter picked up a small rock and knowing what happened the day before he was glad it was a small rock. They kept walking again and carried their rocks all day. This time they got to where they were going and Jesus laid down and went to sleep. They sat there at the table with their rocks and wondered why no feast.
The next day they asked Jesus, why no feast. He said to them, "Do you do everything expecting something?"

Two people.
One gives the other one money. The second person tries to give it back. The one who gave the money won't take it back. So the one who the money was given to invested it in a mutual interest. Later the person who gave the money wanted to dictate terms. The person who the money was given to thought about it, alot and could have mentioned going to jail for them, paying lots of fees and all of the required strings attached. However, the above parable was a great reminder about why not to say anything about those issues. Just to unconditionally love until they got over being irritated. Sometimes that means just some space for a sense of peace.
No one person is any better than another, no child is any greater than another and all people have problems.
What is the most viable solution to this argument of one child greater than another?
