One day, a little boy named Tim went for a walk. He saw a big barrel in his yard. Tim wanted to look inside the barrel, but he could not see the top.
Tim tried to climb the barrel. He put one foot up and then the other. But then, he began to stumble. Tim fell down on the soft grass. He was not hurt, but he felt a little sad. 
Just then, Tim's mom came out of the house. She had a big cup of something. She said, "Tim, do you want to try this?" Tim took a sip. It was bitter! Tim made a funny face. His mom laughed, and Tim laughed too. They forgot about the barrel and went inside to find something sweet to eat.
