Sam liked to watch videos on his tablet. He watched videos of cars, animals, and songs. He watched videos all day and did not play with his toys or his friends. He did not listen to his mom or his dad when they asked him to do something. He only wanted to watch videos.
One day, Sam's tablet ran out of power. He tried to plug it in, but it did not work. He looked for another plug, but he could not find one. He was very sad and angry. He cried and shouted. He did not know what to do without his videos.
His mom came to see what was wrong. She saw Sam's tablet and his tears. She felt sorry for him, but she also wanted to teach him a lesson. She said, "Sam, you watch too many videos. You need to do other things, like play, read, and help. Videos are fun, but they are not everything. You need to balance your time and your activities. Do you understand?"
Sam nodded, but he still felt unhappy. He did not like to hear his mom's words. He felt uncomfortable. He wanted his videos back. He said, "But mom, I love videos. They make me happy. Can I have my tablet back, please?"
His mom said, "No, Sam. Not today. Today, you will do something else. You will help me dry the dishes. It is easy and fun. You will see." She took Sam to the kitchen and gave him a towel. She showed him how to dry the dishes and put them away. She smiled and praised him when he did a good job.
Sam did not like it at first. He thought it was boring and hard. He missed his videos. But as he dried the dishes, he started to enjoy it. He liked to see the dishes shine. He liked to hear his mom's voice. He liked to feel useful and proud. He realized that drying the dishes was not so bad. It was actually fun.
He finished drying the dishes and hugged his mom. He said, "Thank you, mom. I'm sorry I was rude. I learned my lesson. I will not watch videos all day. I will do other things, too. I will play, read, and help. I will balance my time and my activities. I understand now."
His mom hugged him back and said, "I'm proud of you, Sam. You are a good boy. You learned a valuable lesson. Videos are fun, but they are not everything. There is more to life than videos. You need to explore, learn, and grow. You need to be happy and healthy. You need to be yourself."
Sam smiled and said, "I love you, mom. You are the best. Can I watch one video now?"
His mom laughed and said, "Okay, Sam. Just one. But only after you eat your lunch. Deal?"
Sam agreed and said, "Deal. Thank you, mom. You are the best."
The end.
