Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. He was very intelligent. One day, his mom told him, "Tim, it's time for your haircut." Tim did not want a haircut, but he knew he had to go.
At the haircut place, Tim saw a big, red ball. He loved to play with balls. Tim asked his mom, "Can I play with the ball after my haircut?" His mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can play with it when we return home."
Tim sat still during his haircut, thinking about the big, red ball. When the haircut was done, Tim and his mom went home. Tim was so happy to see the big, red ball waiting for him. He played with it all day long, knowing that being patient and listening to his mom was a smart thing to do.
