Tony owns a sword.
So does his younger brother Todd.
Tony’s sword is better. It’s sharper, lighter, and stronger.
Is Tony the better swordsman because he has the better sword?
No. Because Todd made the sword for Tony.
To make up for Tony’s weaker swords skills.
Every time Todd makes a better sword, he gives it to Tony, and he takes the hand-me-down sword.
He’s also trying to teach Tony how to fight better.
But Tony’s too proud to be taught by his younger brother.
And Todd doesn’t want to teach him too much.
In case they ever must fight.
