The passage introduces a little boy who wishes a pony was his. He and his brother engage in a conversation about what the boy would do with the pony.
The complication arises when the brother asks if the little boy would let him ride the pony, and the little boy refuses, leading to an argument about whether the brother would have any right to the pony if it were the little boy's.
The mother intervenes by telling them a story about a quarrel that began between two boys over an unreal thing. The story serves as a lesson, and the children end up laughing, diffusing the tension.
The passage ends with the mother highlighting how quarrels often start from trivial matters, and she reminds the children that they were not any wiser in their argument about an imaginary pony. The situation is resolved, and the children gain a valuable lesson about unnecessary quarrels.
