"Tom, stop running,'' his mother shouted. Tom decided he would stop. His mother left the room and Tom began to run. He slipped on the tile and broke his arm and a leg. It was so bad that Tom had to stay in the hospital while his family was enjoying their vacation in Florida.

LESSON: Don't disobey. You can miss out on lots of fun.
