Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a box for dolls, a box for cars, and a box for blocks. She put each toy in the right box and made them neat. She was happy when her toys were organized.
One day, she found a worm in the garden. She thought it was a toy and put it in the box for blocks. She did not know that worms are alive and need dirt and water. The worm was troubled. It wanted to go back to the garden.
The next day, Sara opened the box for blocks. She saw the worm. It was not moving. It was not a toy. It was dead. Sara was sad and scared. She did not like the worm. She did not want to touch it. She cried and ran to her mom.
"Mom, mom, there is a worm in my box! It is dead! It is yucky!" Sara said.
Mom came and saw the worm. She was sorry for Sara and the worm. She explained to Sara that worms are not toys and that they need dirt and water to live. She helped Sara take the worm out of the box and bury it in the garden. She gave Sara a hug and a kiss.
Sara learned a lesson. She did not put worms in her boxes anymore. She only put toys in her boxes. She still liked to organize her toys, but she was careful not to hurt any living things. She was not happy. She was sad. She missed the worm. She wished she had not put it in the box. She wished she had let it go in the garden. She wished it was alive.
