One day, a little boy named Tim went to the kitchen. He saw a pepper on the table. Tim felt hungry and wanted to eat it. He picked up the pepper, but it was very hot. He sighed.
Tim's mom saw him and said, "Don't eat the pepper, Tim. It will make you angry." But Tim did not listen. He took a big bite of the pepper. Suddenly, his face turned red and he felt very angry.
Then, something unexpected happened. Tim's mom started to laugh. "I was just joking, Tim," she said. "The pepper won't make you angry. It's just very spicy." Tim started to laugh too. He realized the pepper didn't make him angry after all.
