One day, a brilliant sun was shining in the sky. A little girl named Mia was playing in her room upstairs. She had a yummy ice cream cone that she wanted to eat. But Mia's mommy told her, "Mia, you need to eat your lunch first, then you can have your ice cream."
Mia didn't want to eat her lunch. She wanted to eat the ice cream right away. So, Mia hid the ice cream in her toy box and went to eat her lunch. When she finished her lunch, she ran upstairs to get her ice cream. But when she opened the toy box, she saw that her ice cream had melted! "Oh no!" cried Mia, "My ice cream is all gone!"
Just then, Mia's mommy came into the room. "What happened, Mia?" she asked. Mia told her mommy about the melted ice cream. Her mommy said, "Mia, you should have listened to me. If you ate your lunch first, your ice cream wouldn't have melted." Mia learned that she should listen to her mommy and not try to hide things. From that day on, Mia always listened to her mommy and never hid her ice cream again.
