Once upon a time, in a small house, there lived a little boy named Tim. Tim had a big, round, red ball that he loved to play with. One day, Tim was playing with his ball in the house. His mom told him not to, but he did not listen.
Tim threw the ball, and it hit a pretty glass cup. The cup fell and broke. Tim's mom was sad and said, "Tim, that was a stupid thing to do. Now the cup is broken." She told Tim he needed to be punished for breaking the cup.
Tim's mom made him sit in a chair for a short time. She wanted him to learn to be more careful. After his punishment, Tim said he was sorry and promised to play with his ball outside. His mom hugged him and said, "Now you'll be safe, and our cups will be safe too." Tim learned his lesson and played outside with his ball from that day on.
