Little Joey was out in the yard playing with his friends. His parents had given him strict instructions to behave. He was doing his best, but suddenly something caught his eye. It was an expensive whip!
Joey couldn't keep himself from it – he reached out and touched the whip. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help it!
His parents saw him, and they were not happy. They told him that they had told him to behave and not to touch the whip. Joey couldn't help but feel sad, he knew he had made a mistake.
His parents showed him that it was important to obey their instructions. They told him that he needed to listen and that it was for his own good. Joey understood, and he promised to be better next time.
