Anna and Ben like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom and beep when they move the cars on the floor.
One day, they find a new car in the toy box. It is a big red car that can speed very fast. Anna and Ben both want to play with it.
"It is my turn!" Anna says. She grabs the car and runs away.
"No, it is my turn!" Ben says. He chases after her and tries to get the car.
They run around the room, bumping into things and making a lot of noise. Their mom is in the kitchen, making a cake. She hears the noise and comes to see what is going on.
"What are you doing?" she asks. She sees the big red car in Anna's hand and the angry look on Ben's face.
"We are playing with the car!" Anna says.
"But it is not your car!" mom says. "It is dad's car. He got it as a gift from his friend. It is a special car that can play opera music. It is not a toy for children."
"Opera music?" Anna and Ben ask. They do not know what opera is.
"Yes, opera music. It is a kind of music where people sing very loud and high. Some people like it, but some people do not. Dad likes it, but I do not. It gives me a headache." mom says.
She takes the car from Anna and shows them a button on the side. She presses the button and the car starts to play opera music. Anna and Ben cover their ears. They do not like the music. It is too loud and high.
"Stop it, stop it!" they cry.
"Okay, okay, I will stop it." mom says. She presses the button again and the music stops. She puts the car on a high shelf where Anna and Ben cannot reach it.
"Sorry, kids, but you cannot play with this car. It is dad's car and he will be very sad if you break it or lose it. You can play with your other cars, but please do not make so much noise. I am making a cake for dad's birthday and I need to concentrate." mom says.
Anna and Ben feel bad. They did not know it was dad's car. They did not mean to make mom angry. They say sorry to mom and hug her.
"It is okay, I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you take something that is not yours. And be careful with your toys. You do not want to hurt yourselves or the things in the room." mom says.
She goes back to the kitchen to finish the cake. Anna and Ben go back to the toy box and look for another car to play with. They find a small blue car that can make funny noises. They like the funny noises. They play with the small blue car and laugh.
They do not speed or play opera music. They are happy and quiet. Mom is happy and quiet too. She makes a thin cake with chocolate and candles. She hopes dad will like it. She hopes he will not play opera music too loud. She loves dad, but she does not love opera.
