Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to cook and eat yummy food. They have a lot of fun.
One day, they find a big jar of honey on the shelf. They want to taste it. They think it will be sweet and sticky. They climb on a chair and reach for the jar. But the jar is too heavy. It falls down and breaks. Honey spills everywhere.
"Oh no!" Lily says. "We made a big mess. Mom will be angry."
"What do we do?" Tom says. "We can't clean it. It's too much."
They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They hide under the table.
Mom comes in the kitchen. She sees the broken jar and the honey. She is surprised. She looks around. She sees two pairs of feet under the table.
"Lily? Tom? Are you there?" Mom says.
Lily and Tom peek out. They look at Mom. They are sorry.
"Mom, we are sorry. We wanted to try the honey. We didn't mean to break the jar." Lily says.
"Mom, we are sorry. We like honey. We thought it was sweet. We didn't know it was heavy." Tom says.
Mom smiles. She is not angry. She loves Lily and Tom. She knows they are curious and hungry.
"It's okay, my loves. I'm not mad. I'm glad you are safe. Honey is sweet, but it's also sticky and messy. Next time, ask me before you take something from the shelf. I will help you." Mom says.
She hugs Lily and Tom. She gives them a spoon of honey each. They lick it. It is sweet and sticky. They smile.
They help Mom clean the kitchen. They have a lot of fun.
