Lily was thirsty. She saw a bottle on the table. It was Mommy's bottle. It had juice inside. Lily wanted some juice. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle.
"Stop, Lily!" Mommy said. She ran to the table. "That's not for you. That's my medicine. It can make you sick."
Lily was scared. She dropped the bottle. It broke on the floor. The juice spilled everywhere. Lily started to cry.
"I'm sorry, Mommy," Lily said. "I didn't know. I was thirsty."
Mommy hugged Lily. She was not angry. She was worried. She checked Lily for cuts. She was glad Lily was not hurt.
"It's okay, Lily," Mommy said. "You didn't mean to do it. But you have to ask me before you take something. And you have to be careful with glass. It can cut you."
Lily felt guilty. She wanted to help Mommy. She got a towel and tried to clean the mess. Mommy smiled and helped her.
"Thank you, Lily," Mommy said. "You are a good helper. Next time, I will give you some juice in your own bottle. How does that sound?"
Lily nodded. She felt better. She loved Mommy. She said sorry again. Mommy kissed her and said she loved her too. They finished cleaning and went to the couch. They cuddled and read a book. Lily was happy.
