One day, a little girl named Lucy was eager to make a pretty paper flower. She needed scissors to cut the paper. She asked her mom, "Can I use the scissors, please?" Her mom said, "Yes, but be careful and don't leave them on the floor."
Lucy started to cut the paper. Her little brother, Tom, saw her and wanted to play too. He tried to take the scissors from her. Lucy said, "No, Tom! These are sharp. You can't play with them."
Tom was sad and cried. Lucy did not want Tom to be sad. She had an idea. She gave Tom some paper and helped him tear it into pieces. They both made pretty paper flowers together. Now, Tom was happy, and they didn't leave the scissors on the floor.
