The Importance of Studying

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tim who loved playing games on his cellphone. Every day after school, he would rush home and spend hours playing games. He would forget about his homework and lose track of time.

One day, Tim's teacher noticed that he was always behind in his schoolwork. She called Tim's parents and told them about his problem. They decided to have a talk with Tim.

Tim's parents sat him down and explained the importance of studying and doing well in school. They told him that playing games is fun, but it should not be his priority.

Tim realized that he needed to make a change. He decided to set aside specific time for studying every day before he could play games. He made a study schedule and stuck to it.
