The eldest e l d e s t is the oldest brother or sister in a family.
For example, my brother is older than me and my sister, so he is the eldest.
In the past and in many cultures generally, the eldest child was often very important.
A middle child m I d d l e is a child who is not the youngest and not the eldest.
I have an older sister and an older brother.
My brother is the eldest and my sister is the middle child.
She is older than me and younger than my brother.
There is a stereotype that middle children try to make peace between their older and younger brothers and sisters.
Someone who is greedy g r e e d y wants to have lots of food or lots of money.
Children are often greedy because they want to eat lots of sweets.
