Sara liked to play with her mom's purse. It was red and shiny and had many things inside. Sara liked to open the purse and look at the things. She liked the keys, the phone, the wallet and the lipstick. She liked to pretend she was a grown-up lady.
One day, Sara saw her mom's purse on the table. She wanted to play with it, but her mom was not home. She was at work. Sara thought it was okay to play with the purse, because her mom would not know. She took the purse and went to her room.
Sara opened the purse and took out the things. She put the keys in her pocket, the phone in her ear, the wallet in her hand and the lipstick on her lips. She felt very happy and proud. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She looked like a grown-up lady.
But then, she heard the door open. It was her mom. She came home early from work. She wanted to surprise Sara. She went to Sara's room and saw Sara with her purse and her things. She was not happy. She was angry.
"Sara, what are you doing with my purse?" she asked. "You know you are not allowed to touch my purse. You could lose or break my things. You could hurt yourself with the lipstick. You are in big trouble, young lady."
Sara felt very sad and scared. She did not want to make her mom angry. She did not want to be in trouble. She wanted to say sorry, but she could not find the words. She had gained a purse, but she had lost her mom's trust. She wished she had not played with the purse. She wished she had waited for her mom. She wished she had been a good girl.
