Timmy was very sleepy. He wanted to sleep in his bed, but his mom said he had to go to school. He did not like school. He liked to play with his toys and watch cartoons.
"Come on, Timmy, get up. You have to get ready for school," his mom said.
"No, mom, I want to sleep. School is boring," Timmy said.
"You can't sleep all day, Timmy. You have to learn new things and make friends at school. It's fun and good for you," his mom said.
Timmy did not believe his mom. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. His mom sighed and left the room. Timmy smiled. He thought he was very clever.
But soon, he heard a loud noise. It was his dad. He was making breakfast in the kitchen. He was making pancakes. Timmy loved pancakes. He smelled the sweet syrup and the butter. His mouth watered. He wanted to eat pancakes.
He opened his eyes and got out of bed. He ran to the kitchen. He saw his dad and his sister, Lily. They were sitting at the table, eating pancakes. They looked happy.
"Hi, Timmy. Do you want some pancakes?" his dad asked.
"Yes, please, dad. I love pancakes," Timmy said.
He sat down and took a plate. He put some pancakes on it and poured some syrup. He took a big bite. It was delicious.
"Did you have a good sleep, Timmy?" his sister asked.
"Yes, I did, Lily. I was very sleepy," Timmy said.
"Are you ready for school, Timmy?" his dad asked.
Timmy paused. He realized he had made a mistake. He had missed the bus. He had to walk to school. He did not like to walk. He liked to ride the bus. He looked at his dad. His dad looked angry.
"Timmy, you were supposed to get up when mom told you. You can't skip school. You have to go now. And you have to walk. It's too late for the bus," his dad said.
Timmy felt sad. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had gone to school. He did not want to walk. He wanted to ride the bus. He wanted to eat pancakes. He wanted to sleep.
He learned a lesson. He learned that sleeping too much was not good. He learned that school was important. He learned that he had to listen to his mom and dad.
He said sorry to his dad. He said goodbye to his mom and sister. He took his backpack and walked to school. He hoped he would not be late. He hoped he would not miss anything fun. He hoped he would have pancakes again.
