Once upon a time there was a little girl named Shelly. Shelly was only three years old and she loved to explore. As she was walking through her house, she saw a desk and wondered what it was used for. She asked her mom, "Mommy, what is this desk for?"
Her mom smiled and explained, "This is a very important desk. This is where I write letters and make phone calls. The desk helps me to do my job."
Shelly thought about this for a moment, then she said, "Can I have a desk too? I want to do important things too!"
Her mom tousled her hair and said, "Oh Shelly, you can do important things! You can help me tidy my desk and then you will be helping me do my job. Helping others is an important thing to do."
Shelly smiled and began to busily tidy her mom's desk. She learned an important lesson that day - that all jobs were important, and that helping others was very valuable.
