Who is this "someone" you're talking about, Mother Gaia? Reframing justice from a humancentric perspective to one more in line with the natural state is something that would immediately yield very entertaining results, as the people most likely to propose it would most deeply regret having gotten their way.
It doesn't matter to the point at all who the someone is. Change it to "if you randomly found a nice toy" and the point remains exactly the same.
It certainly does matter, it drastically shifts who (or what) determines "you don't deserve it."
But in this case, his parents broke the toy, not him.
Every generation thinks things would be different if they had been in charge.
