Once upon a time a wealthy man was strolling in the woods when he stumbled upon a beautiful mushroom. The man was overcome with joy and couldn't resist picking it and taking it home with him. 
When he got home, the man called his three year old daughter to come and see the mushroom. Little Jane was delighted, and started playing with it. The man told her not to disturb the mushroom, but it was hard for a three year old to understand why.  
Jane's father said to her, “If we disturb something, it might not stay the same again. That's why it's important to be careful and to think before you act. That's a rule of life." 
Jane nodded and said she was sorry for disturbing the mushroom. She then carefully put it back as she found it. The man hugged her and told Jane that being careful and thinking before she acted, was a very important thing in life. 
From then on, Jane was always careful not to disturb or hurt any living thing. 
The moral of the story is that it is important to think before you act.
