Tom and Sue were hungry. They wanted to eat rice for lunch. Mom said she would cook rice for them. She put rice and water in a big pot. She put the pot on the stove. She turned on the fire.
Mom said, "Do not touch the pot. It is hot. Wait for me. I will come back soon." She went to the store to buy some eggs and milk.
Tom and Sue did not listen to Mom. They were bored. They wanted to play with the pot. They said, "Let's turn the pot. It will be fun."
They went to the stove. They grabbed the handle of the pot. They tried to turn the pot. But the pot was too heavy. The pot slipped from their hands. The pot fell on the floor. The rice and water spilled everywhere. The fire burned the rice and the water. The fire made a lot of smoke.
Mom came back from the store. She saw the smoke. She smelled the rice. She heard Tom and Sue cry. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She was angry. She said, "What did you do? You are naughty. You did not listen to me. You made a big problem. You could have hurt yourself. You wasted the rice. Now we have no lunch. Go to your room. You are in trouble."
Tom and Sue were sad. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to have fun. We did not mean to make a problem. We are hungry. Can we have lunch?"
Mom said, "No. You have no lunch. You have to stay in your room. You have to think about what you did. Maybe you will learn to listen next time."
Tom and Sue went to their room. They had no lunch. They had no fun. They had a dull day. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had not turned the pot.
