Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim lived in a small house with his mom, dad, and his dog, Spot. Tim loved to play with Spot in the yard. One day, Tim's mom told him to clean the attic. Tim felt helpless because he didn't know where to start.
Tim asked his mom, "Can you help me clean the attic?" His mom said, "No, Tim, you must learn to do it yourself." So, Tim went to the attic and started to clean. Spot followed Tim and went to the attic too. While cleaning, Tim began to complain, "This is too hard. I don't like cleaning."
As Tim and Spot were cleaning, they found a big box. Tim opened the box and saw many toys inside. Tim and Spot started to play with the toys instead of cleaning. They played and played, and they forgot about cleaning the attic.
When Tim's mom came to check on them, she saw the mess. She was very sad and said, "Tim, you did not clean the attic like I asked. Now, you cannot play with your friends today." Tim felt bad and learned that he should listen to his mom and finish his work before playing.
