Thomas and Lucia: The importance of being obedient and responsible
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Thomas and a girl named Lucia, who were very mischievous and always looking for new adventures. One day, while their parents were leaving the house to do some shopping, they gave them an important indication: they should not leave the house under any circumstances.
But Thomas and Lucia were bored and wanted to play in the nearby park. So, they decided to leave the house, despite their parents’ warning. They ran to the park and played all day, not worrying about the time. But when the sky turned gray and it started to rain, they realized they had made a big mistake.
When they realized it was raining very hard, they hurried to return home. Thomas thought Lucia had brought the keys to get into the house, but when they arrived, they realized they had forgotten them. They knocked on the door and called their parents, but there was no one at home. They were trapped outside in the middle of the tremendous downpour that day.
The two children hugged each other, trying to stay warm and dry under a nearby tree. They began to realize how badly they had acted, disobeying their parents’ instructions. Thomas apologized to Lucia, telling her that he thought she had brought the keys. Lucia told him it didn’t matter, that the important thing was to find a solution to get into the house.
After a while, Thomas and Lucia remembered that there was a window that they sometimes left open on the second floor of the house. With great difficulty, they climbed the wall and managed to enter the house through the open window.

When their parents returned home, they found them drying off by the fireplace. Thomas and Lucia apologized, explaining that they had disobeyed because they were bored. But their parents, although they were happy that they were safe, were very angry and explained to them that the rules were there to protect them.
Thomas and Lucia felt bad for having disobeyed and decided to show their parents that they had learned their lesson. Over the next few weeks, they strove to be obedient and responsible. They helped with household chores, did their schoolwork, and asked for permission before leaving the house.
Finally, their parents realized that Thomas and Lucia had understood the importance of following the rules and the value of responsibility. They forgave them and hugged their children, who were very happy to have regained their parents’ trust.
From then on, Thomas and Lucia always tried to be obedient and responsible, knowing that it was the right thing to do. And although they sometimes make mistakes, they always regretted it and apologized, knowing that their love and respect for their parents were the most important thing of all. And so, they learned the valuable lesson that rules are there to protect them and that they must be obedient and responsible to be good and reliable people.
From then on, Thomas and Lucia always carried the keys with them when they left the house and made sure to follow all their parents’ instructions. And although they were no longer as mischievous as before, they still enjoyed venturing and exploring the world, but now they did it in a more responsible and careful way, knowing that it was the best way to stay safe and happy.
