Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily loved to play with her toys. One day, she saw a new toy in the store. It was a big, shiny ball. Lily wanted the ball so much.
Lily asked her mom, "Can I have the ball, please?" Her mom said, "You can receive it if you are good and help with chores." Lily was happy and started to help her mom around the house. She was excited to get the new ball.
But Lily did not wait for her mom to say the ball was available. She took it without asking. Later, her mom found out and was sad. She told Lily, "You should not take things without asking. Now you cannot play with the ball." Lily was sad too. She learned that it is important to be patient and ask before taking things.
