my brother got such a nice snowboard for his birthday when we were teenagers . i wanted one too , but did n't end up getting what i wanted that does n't sound like such a pleasurable memory . maybe you received a gift your brother always secretly wish he had ! you know , he played it up like that , seemed really invested in the bass guitar i got . he sure did enjoy the hell out of that snowboard , though . you know what they say , the grass is always greener on the other side . did you ever manage to get him to let you borrow his snowboard ?
The brother received a desired gift (a snowboard) while the person did not get what they wanted.
