Lily liked to help her mom with the dishes. She would put the dirty plates and cups in the dishwasher and push the buttons. She felt very tidy and proud.
One day, mom was busy on the phone and did not see Lily go to the kitchen. Lily wanted to help again, but she did not know that the dishwasher was already full and running. She opened the door and saw the water and soap bubbles. She thought they looked fun and pretty.
She took out some plates and cups and put them on the floor. She poured some water and soap on them and started to scrub them with a sponge. She made a big mess and did not hear mom calling her name.
Mom came to the kitchen and saw the water and soap everywhere. She saw Lily playing with the dishes and making more bubbles. She was very angry and scared. She shouted at Lily and took her away from the kitchen.
"Lily, what have you done? You made a big mess and wasted the water and soap. You could have broken the dishes or hurt yourself. You are not helping, you are making trouble. Don't you ever repeat this again!"
Lily started to cry and felt very sad and sorry. She did not mean to make mom angry or make a mess. She just wanted to help and have fun. She wished she had listened to mom and left the dishwasher alone. She learned a hard lesson that day.
