 One week, Nick and his mum went shopping. Nick was very excited! He wanted to buy a new toy, but mum said he needed to wait. "I'm ready to buy it!" Nick said. Mum smiled and said, "Not yet, Nick. Patience is a good thing! Let's have another look and see what else is here that's interesting."
Nick knew that waiting was important, and he wanted to help. He said to Mum, "It's okay. I can be patient. What could I look at that is fun?" Mum said cheerfully, "There are lots of puzzles and coloring books! Would you like to have a look?"
Nick found a new puzzle that he liked, and it wasn't too hard for him. He smiled and said, "Yes, I can do this one!" Mum encouraged him, "That's great. Put it in the basket and wait until the end of the week. Then, if you've been good, we can come back and buy it!"
Nick was so excited and he was ready! He said, "Ok, mum! I'm gonna do it!" He put the puzzle in the basket and they both looked around some more. Nick was so happy that he could wait and eventually buy what he wanted. He knew patience was the key.
