One day, a little boy named Tim went to the store with his mom. They needed to buy a new carpet for their home. Tim was very excited to pick out the carpet. He saw a big, soft, and red one. He told his mom, "I like this one!" His mom said, "Okay, let's get it."
At the store, there was a serious man who worked there. He helped people pay for their things. Tim's mom gave the man some money to pay for the carpet. The man looked at the money and said, "Not enough." Tim's mom looked worried. She said, "I will come back later with more."
Tim was sad but knew his mom would come back to pay for the carpet. He thought about how nice the carpet would look in their home. Later, his mom came back with more money. She gave it to the serious man. This time, he smiled and said, "Thank you. You can take the carpet home now."
Tim and his mom took the big, soft, red carpet home. They put it in their living room. Tim was so happy. He played on the carpet all day. He knew his mom would keep her promise and make everything okay.
