Ben and Lily were twins who loved waffles. Every morning, their mom made them yummy waffles with butter and honey. They ate them with big smiles and said thank you to mom.
One day, mom had to go to the store and left them with dad. Dad was busy with work and did not know how to make waffles. He gave them cereal and milk instead. Ben and Lily did not like cereal and milk. They wanted waffles.
They saw the waffle maker on the counter and decided to make their own waffles. They poured the batter into the waffle maker and closed it. They waited for a few minutes and then opened it. The waffle was big and golden. They were happy.
They put the waffle on a plate and cut it in half. They each took a half and put butter and honey on it. They were about to eat it when they heard dad coming. They quickly hid the waffle under the table.
Dad came into the kitchen and saw the mess. He saw the waffle maker, the batter, the butter and the honey. He was angry. He asked them what they did. Ben and Lily did not answer. They felt guilty.
Dad looked under the table and saw the waffle. He sighed. He told them that they should not use the waffle maker without his permission. He said that they could have burned themselves or broken the waffle maker. He said that they should have asked him for help or waited for mom to come back.
He also told them that they should not waste food. He said that the waffle was enough for four people and that they should have shared it with him. He said that they should be grateful for what they have and not be greedy.
Ben and Lily realized that they were wrong. They said sorry to dad. They gave him the waffle and asked him to eat it with them. They said that they loved him and that they would not do it again.
Dad smiled and hugged them. He said that he loved them too and that he was proud of them for admitting their mistake. He said that he would teach them how to make waffles safely next time. He said that they could still have cereal and milk if they wanted.
They all sat down and ate the waffle together. It was still yummy. They thanked dad and said that they learned a lesson. They said that they would always listen to dad and mom and be good twins.
