Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sue. Sue loved to play with her toys. One day, Sue lost her favorite toy, a small red car. She looked everywhere, but she could not find it. Sue was very sad.
Sue's mom saw her crying and asked, "Sue, why are you crying?" Sue replied, "I lost my red car and I can't find it." Her mom said, "Don't worry, we will find it together. But first, let's have a little talk about taking care of our things." Sue listened to her mom's talk, which was like a small lecture.
Sue's mom told her that it's important to put things away when we are done playing with them. That way, we won't lose them and we can find them easily next time. Sue thought her mom was right and promised to be more careful.
Together, they searched for the red car. They found it under Sue's bed. Sue was so happy! She gave her mom a big hug and said, "Thank you, Mom! I promise to put my toys away when I'm done playing."
From that day on, Sue always put her toys away after playing. She never lost anything again. The moral of the story is to always take care of our things and put them away when we are done, so we don't go crazy looking for them later.
