Once upon a time there was a naughty mouse. He was always causing trouble in the house. One day, the mouse saw a bowl of spaghetti on the kitchen table. He reached for it, but the bowl was too high for him to get to.
He ran to find a way to reach the spaghetti. He found a tall chair and tried to get on it. But he was too small! He tried to climb the table, but that didn't work either.
Frustrated, the naughty mouse started to cry. Then he heard a noise. It was the kind voice of his mother. She said, “Don’t be naughty and always remember to behave. Then you’ll be able to reach the things you want.”
The mouse thought about what his mother said and he felt better. He remembered that he needed to be nice and kind if he wanted to get what he wanted. And he remembered to never be naughty again.
