Sara liked to play with her dad's machine. It was big and shiny and made funny noises. She wanted to press the buttons and see what they did. But her dad always said no. He said the machine was not for playing. He said it could be dangerous and hurt Sara.
One day, Sara saw the machine in the garage. Her dad was not there. He was in the house. Sara thought maybe she could play with the machine for a little bit. She was very curious. She went to the garage and opened the door. She saw the machine on the table. It looked harmless. It was not moving or making noises.
Sara climbed on a chair and reached for the machine. She touched a button. The machine started to beep and flash. Sara was scared. She tried to turn it off, but she did not know how. She heard her dad running to the garage. He saw Sara and the machine. He was angry and worried.
He grabbed Sara and took her away from the machine. He turned it off and hugged Sara. He said he was glad she was not hurt. He said he was sorry he yelled at her. He said he loved her. He said he did not permit her to play with the machine because it was not a toy. He said it was a tool for his work. He said it could be harmful if she did not know how to use it.
Sara said she was sorry too. She said she did not mean to make the machine beep and flash. She said she was curious and wanted to see what it did. She said she loved her dad. She said she would not touch the machine again. She said she would play with her toys instead. Her dad smiled and kissed her. He said he was proud of her. He said he would show her the machine when she was older and teach her how to use it safely. He said they could play with it together. Sara nodded and smiled. She was happy. She and her dad went to the house and played with her toys.
