John was carrying his teddy bear. He walked out of the door into the garden. He could see his mother sitting in the garden.
John: "Mama, look what I have."
John's mother smiled at him and said: "Hi John, what have you got there?"
John proudly showed her the teddy bear. His mother said: "Oh, what a cute teddy bear! I like it!"
John felt very happy. He carried the teddy bear around his neck and ran around the garden, laughing.
John's father called out from across the garden: "John! Did you pick the flowers without asking?"
John stopped running and he suddenly felt guilty. He hung his head down and said softly "Sorry".
John's father came over and said: "It's okay, John. I know you didn't mean to pick them without asking. Just remember to always ask first next time."
John nodded and hugged his teddy bear tightly, feeling relieved that his father was not mad. He smiled at his dad and said: "I will."
