One day, a little boy named Tim was very excited. He was going to the park with his mom. They walked to the park and saw many kids playing. Tim ran to the swings and started to swing high in the sky.
At lunchtime, Tim's mom said, "Time to eat, Tim!" She opened a big box with salad inside. Tim looked at the salad and said, "I don't want salad, Mom. I want candy." Tim's mom shook her head and said, "No, Tim. Salad is good for you. Candy is not."
Tim was sad but he ate the salad. After eating, he felt strong and full of energy. He played more and had lots of fun. When they went home, Tim told his mom, "I liked the salad, Mom. It made me strong." His mom smiled and said, "That's right, Tim. Good food makes you strong and happy."
The moral of the story is that eating healthy food like salad can make you strong and happy, even if you think you want candy instead.
