Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play at the park. They liked to swing, run and slide on the big slide. One day, they saw a cake on a table near the slide. It was a big cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. It looked yummy.
"Who do you think the cake is for?" Lily asked Tom.
"I don't know. Maybe it is for a birthday party," Tom said.
"Can we have some?" Lily wondered.
Tom looked around. He did not see anyone near the cake. He felt hungry.
"Maybe we can have a little bit. No one will notice," he said.
He walked to the table and took a knife. He cut a small piece of cake and gave it to Lily. He cut another piece for himself. They ate the cake. It was sweet and soft.
They heard a voice behind them. It was a woman. She looked angry.
"Hey, what are you doing? That is my cake! I made it for my daughter's birthday! How dare you steal it!" she shouted.
Lily and Tom felt scared. They dropped the cake and ran away. They ran to the slide and slid down. They hoped the woman would not catch them.
They ran to their moms, who were sitting on a bench. They told them what happened. Their moms looked worried.
"That was very wrong of you. You should not take things that are not yours. You should say sorry to the woman and her daughter. You hurt their feelings and ruined their cake," their moms said.
Lily and Tom felt sorry. They knew they did a bad thing. They walked back to the woman and her daughter. They said sorry and gave them a hug. The woman and her daughter forgave them. They invited them to join the party and share the cake.
Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They learned to respect other people's things and to be honest. They also learned to be kind and make new friends. They had fun at the party and enjoyed the cake. They thanked the woman and her daughter for being nice to them. They promised to never steal again.
