One day, a little girl named Mia went to play outside. She was a dependable girl who always did what she was told. Before she left, her mom said, "Mia, come back home at noon, okay?" Mia nodded and said, "Okay, mom!"
Mia played with her ball and her friends, having lots of fun. But she forgot what her mom told her. The sun went up and up, and soon it was noon. Mia's mom looked out the window and saw that Mia was not home yet.
Mia's mom went outside and called, "Mia, it's time to come home!" Mia heard her mom and remembered what she had said. "Oh no, I forgot!" Mia said to her friends. She ran home and said sorry to her mom. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, just remember next time." Mia smiled and promised she would not forget again.
