Put your
shoes on!
O
NCE upon a time
there were two little
children. Their names were Rosie
and Harrison. On this day they were
visiting Grandma Flo, who was Rosie and
Harrison’s grandma. The children wanted
to go outside so Grandma Flo said, “You
can go as long as you put your shoes on
first”. The two children ignored her and
went outside anyway.
Rosie and Harrison were playing happily
until they got prickles in their feet. “Ouch!”
cried Harrison. “Ohhhhh” said Rosie and
then they both started to cry. Grandma
Flo heard the children crying and went
28
outside to see what was wrong. “Why
did you not put your shoes on when I
told you?” Grandma asked the crying
children. “Because we wanted to go and
play quicker”, sobbed Rosie. Harrison said
“We wanted to play before lunch and have
more time playing”.
Grandma kissed them both on the top of
their head and said “I hope you learned
your lesson because tomorrow we are
going to go to the park and play”. Rosie
and Harrison replied “Yes Grandma Flo,
we are sorry we didn’t listen”.
The next day when Grandma Flo asked
them to get ready to go the park, Rosie
and Harrison put their shoes on straight
away. When Grandma Flo saw them all
ready with their shoes on she gave them
a big squeezy huggle and said “Well done
for remembering to put your shoes on,
I think we will have a special treat after
lunch today.”
Later that afternoon when it was time to
go home the children didn’t want to leave
Grandma’s house. They gave her an extra
special hug and kiss but they remembered
to listen and went home with Dad for
dinner. They remembered that listening
is very important and got ready for bed
as soon as Daddy asked them including
brushing their teeth.
