One day, a boy named Tim wanted to get his toy car from the top of a shelf. He was not tall enough to reach it. He tried to be patient and wait for his mom to help him, but he really wanted to play with it.
Tim saw a big ball in the room. He had an idea! He threw the ball at the shelf to knock down the toy car. The ball hit the shelf, but it did not just knock down the toy car. It destroyed the whole shelf, and all the things on it fell down too!
Tim's mom came into the room and saw the mess. "Oh no, Tim! What happened?" she asked. Tim said, "I wanted my toy car, but I made a big mess." His mom was not happy, but she knew Tim did not mean to destroy the shelf. They cleaned up together, and Tim learned to be more patient and ask for help next time.
