The Boy Who Learned a Lesson

Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Timmy. Timmy had a habit of using words that made grown-ups frown. These words were not kind and made people feel sad. But Timmy didn't care. He thought it was funny to use bad words. One day, something strange happened.

Timmy woke up to find himself in a big, empty room. Suddenly, a bright light filled the room, and loud thunder echoed all around. It was a divine punishment for Timmy's blasphemous words. A voice boomed from above, 'Timmy, you have used words that hurt others. It's time for you to learn a lesson.'

But instead of feeling sorry and changing his ways, Timmy shouted back, 'I don't care! I can say whatever I want!' The voice sighed and said, 'Very well, Timmy. If you continue to speak unkindly, you will lose something important to you.'

From that day forward, Timmy started losing things that he loved. First, he lost his favorite toy. Then, he lost the ability to play his favorite sport. Each time, the voice would remind him, 'Remember, Timmy, your words have consequences.' But Timmy still didn't listen.

Finally, Timmy lost something he couldn't bear to lose - his friends. They didn't want to be around someone who always used hurtful words. Timmy felt lonely and realized the impact of his actions. He called out to the voice, 'I'm sorry! I didn't know my words could hurt so much.'

The voice replied, 'Timmy, you have learned your lesson. Words are powerful, and they can either bring joy or sadness. Use your words to lift others up, not tear them down.' From that day forward, Timmy used kind words, and his life became much happier. He made new friends who liked him for who he was, and Timmy knew he would never use those bad words again.
