Tom loved his bicycle. He rode it every day in the park with his dad. He liked to go fast and feel the wind on his face. He also liked to ring the bell and wave to the other kids.
One day, Tom saw a big hole in the ground. He was curious and wanted to see what was inside. He got off his bicycle and walked to the hole. He leaned over and saw something shiny. He reached out his hand and touched it. It was a metal box.
Tom wanted to open the box and see what was inside. He tried to pull it out of the hole, but it was too heavy. He looked around and saw a shovel. He had an idea. He took the shovel and started to dig around the box. He thought he could make the hole bigger and then lift the box.
But he did not see his dad coming. His dad was looking for him and saw him digging in the hole. His dad was angry and shouted at him. He said, "Tom, what are you doing? You are making a mess and you are ruining the grass. And where is your bicycle?"
Tom felt scared and sad. He dropped the shovel and pointed to his bicycle. He had left it next to the hole, but he did not see that a dog had come and taken it away. The dog had dragged it to a corner and started to chew on it. The bicycle was broken and dirty.
His dad saw the bicycle and was even more angry. He said, "Tom, you are very naughty. You did not take care of your bicycle and you lost it. Now you have no bicycle and you have to go home. And you have to help me bury this hole and fix the grass."
Tom cried and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to see the box. I did not mean to lose my bicycle. Please don't be harsh with me."
His dad sighed and said, "I know, Tom. But you have to learn to be careful and responsible. Come on, let's go and find the dog and get your bicycle back. Maybe we can fix it and ride it again. And maybe we can come back another day and see what is in the box. But only if you promise to listen to me and not dig in the ground again."
Tom nodded and said, "I promise, dad. I love you and I love my bicycle. Can we still be friends?"
His dad smiled and said, "Of course, Tom. We are always friends. Now let's go and find that dog and your bicycle."
