Tommy liked to watch cartoons on the big screen. He liked the funny animals and the silly sounds they made. He watched them every day after school.
One day, his sister Lily came home early. She wanted to watch something else on the big screen. She said cartoons were for babies and she was a big girl. She took the remote and changed the channel.
Tommy was very angry. He shouted at Lily and tried to grab the remote. Lily pushed him away and said he was too young to watch what she wanted to watch. She said it was a show about space and stars and rockets.
Tommy did not care about space and stars and rockets. He wanted to watch his cartoons. He cried and kicked and threw his toys. He said Lily was mean and he hated her.
Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Tommy and Lily fighting over the remote. She was not happy. She took the remote and turned off the big screen. She said they had to share and take turns. She said they had to display good manners and respect each other. She said they were both her children and she loved them.
Tommy and Lily felt sorry for making Mom upset. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. They agreed to watch cartoons for half an hour and then watch the show about space and stars and rockets for another half hour. They said they would display kindness and cooperation. They said they loved Mom and each other. Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she was proud of them and turned on the big screen. They all watched the cartoons and laughed together.
