Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. He had a toy phone that he loved to play with. One day, the phone began to ring. Tim was very excited and picked it up.
"Hello?" Tim said into the phone. "Who is there?" A voice on the other end asked, "Is your mom available?" Tim did not know what "available" meant, so he asked the voice, "What is 'available'?"
The voice explained, "It means your mom is free to talk." Tim thought about it and shared his opinion. "Mom is in the kitchen. I think she can talk." The voice thanked him and asked to speak to his mom.
Tim ran to the kitchen and gave the phone to his mom. She talked for a little while and then hung up. She smiled at Tim and said, "Thank you for being so helpful, Tim. You did a great job." Tim felt happy and proud that he could help his mom.
