Once upon a time, in a small house, there lived a little boy named Tom. Tom loved to play outside and discover new things. One day, he found a green ball in his yard. He was very happy and played with the green ball all day.
Tom's mom called him for dinner. "Tom, come in! It's time for dinner!" she said. Tom was hungry, but he didn't want to stop playing with his green ball. So, he took the ball inside with him.
During dinner, Tom couldn't stop looking at his green ball. His mom told him to put the ball away and eat his food. But Tom didn't listen. He kept playing with the ball and didn't eat his dinner. 
Suddenly, the green ball rolled off the table and broke into pieces. Tom was very sad. His mom said, "I told you to put the ball away. Now it's broken, and you didn't eat your dinner." Tom cried and wished he had listened to his mom.
