Once upon a time there was a foolish boy named Danny. He was careless and never paid attention to his work.
One day Mr. Tim was getting his house painted. When Danny arrived at their house, he was intrigued. “Why are you getting your house painted Mr. Tim?” asked Danny as he watched.
“Because I want to make my house look beautiful.” Replied Mr. Tim and Danny continued with his day.
A few days went by and Mr. Tim had to attend an important event. As Danny was around, he asked him to dress up his youngest son. “I want him to look prim, proper and beautiful” Mr. Tim smiled.
Now Danny was such a foolish boy, he did not consider his actions carefully. He just went and put paint all over the little boy, because Mr. Tim had said paint was making the house beautiful. This made Mr. Tim very angry.
Another day came when Mr. Steve asked Danny to run an errand for him and drop off some letters into the mail box. Danny went off early during the day, but returned in the evening with the letters still in his hand. Mr. Steve was very confused, and asked Danny why he still had the letters.
“When I went to the letter box, it was locked. I kept trying and trying to open it but I could not.”
How foolish, thought Mr. Steve. Now both Tim and Steve were cross with him.
A few days went by again, and Mr. Tim gave Danny a bottle of shampoo. Danny left it on his study table, but when he was about to go into the shower, he accidentally grabbed a bottle of glue and went in, without paying any attention.
When he came out of the shower and looked at himself in the mirror and he was shocked. Danny began to cry seeing his hair all messed up.
When Mr. Tim came to see why Danny was crying, he began to laugh hard. Danny’s foolishness had cost him heavy this time, and he had to get his head shaved.
He was so devastated that he promised himself to be more careful.
