Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived a little boy named Tim. Tim was a troubled boy because he always wanted to catch things. He tried to catch butterflies, birds, and even his pet cat! His parent, Mom, always told him to be gentle with the animals.
One day, while playing outside, Tim saw a big, red ball bouncing down the street. He thought, "I want to catch that ball!" So, he ran as fast as he could, trying to grab it. The ball kept bouncing away, but Tim did not give up. He chased the ball all the way to the park.
At the park, Tim finally caught the ball. He was so happy! His parent, Mom, came running after him. She was worried but also proud that Tim caught the ball. Tim learned that it was more fun to catch a ball than to catch animals. From that day on, Tim played with his big, red ball and left the animals alone.
