Tommy liked to play with his dad's suit. It was black and shiny and had many buttons. Tommy liked to pretend he was a big boss and tell his toys what to do. He put on the suit jacket and the tie and looked in the mirror. He smiled and said, "I am the best!"
But then he heard his dad coming up the stairs. He was angry and loud. Tommy was scared and tried to take off the suit. But the tie was too tight and the jacket was too big. He could not get them off. He ran to his bed and hid under the blanket.
His dad opened the door and saw the suit on the floor. He saw the scissors on the table. He saw the hole in the sleeve. He was very mad. He shouted, "Who did this? Who cut my suit?"
Tommy peeked from the blanket and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to play with your suit. But it was too enormous. And the scissors were too sharp. I didn't mean to ruin it."
His dad sighed and walked to the bed. He lifted the blanket and looked at Tommy. He saw his scared and sad face. He felt sorry for him. He said, "I know you didn't mean it, son. But you have to be careful with my things. They are not toys. They are important for my work. And you could have hurt yourself with the scissors. They are dangerous."
Tommy nodded and said, "I understand, dad. I won't do it again. I love you."
His dad hugged him and said, "I love you too, son. But next time, if you want to play with my suit, ask me first. And I will help you find something else to play with. OK?"
Tommy smiled and said, "OK, dad. Thank you."
