Tom is a famous cat. He likes to sing and dance and make people happy. He has many friends who watch him on TV and on the internet. He is very good at singing and dancing, but he is not very good at listening.
One day, Tom's mom tells him to stay at home and be quiet. She has to work on her computer and she needs silence. Tom says okay, but he does not mean it. He is bored and he wants to have fun. He thinks his mom will not hear him if he sings and dances in his room.
But Tom is wrong. His mom hears every sound he makes. She hears him sing loud songs, and jump on his bed, and bang on his drums. She gets very angry and stops her work. She goes to Tom's room and opens the door. She sees Tom making a big mess and a lot of noise.
She says, "Tom, you are a very naughty cat. You did not listen to me. You did not stay at home and be quiet. You made a lot of trouble and noise. You have to stop singing and dancing right now. You have to clean your room and say sorry. And you have to punish yourself. You have to turn off your TV and your internet for one hour. You cannot watch your friends or your fans. You have to learn your lesson."
Tom feels very sad and sorry. He knows he did a bad thing. He says, "Mom, I am sorry. I was bored and I wanted to have fun. I did not think you would hear me. I did not mean to make you angry. I will stop singing and dancing. I will clean my room and say sorry. And I will punish myself. I will turn off my TV and my internet for one hour. I will not watch my friends or my fans. I will learn my lesson."
Tom's mom hugs him and says, "I love you, Tom. You are a famous cat, but you are also my son. You have to listen to me and obey me. You have to be good and quiet when I need you to be. You have to respect me and my work. You have to understand that singing and dancing are not the only things in life. You have to balance your fun and your responsibility. You have to grow up and be a smart cat."
Tom nods and says, "I love you, Mom. You are my mom, but you are also a busy person. You have to work on your computer and do important things. You need silence and peace. I have to listen to you and obey you. I have to be good and quiet when you need me to be. I have to respect you and your work. I have to understand that working and helping are also things in life. I have to balance my fun and my responsibility. I have to grow up and be a smart cat."
