Once upon a time there was a little boy called Josh. He was very hungry, so his Mommy made him a steak. Josh bit into it, but it was very tough. He wasn't able to chew it.
Mommy said, "What's wrong, Josh?"
Josh replied, "My steak is too tough. I can't eat it."
Mommy smiled and said, "Let's count to 10 before you eat it, ok?"
Josh nodded and started counting. He got to 10 and tried the steak again. This time it was much easier to chew!
Josh smiled and said, "Thank you Mommy, that was much better!"
Mommy said, "See, how great it is to take our time and count? Patience is a great lesson to learn and it can help us in many situations. Always remember to count before making a decision!"
 Josh nodded and smiled as he enjoyed his steak. He'd learned a valuable lesson and was happy that he can now always count on his Mommy!
