Whenever Timmy would be asked to do his chores or follow instructions, he would do the exact opposite, thinking he was clever. But he didn't realize that his actions were causing trouble for others.

One sunny day, as Timmy played near the river, he accidentally fell in. Luckily, Mr. Jones, a wise old man, saw what happened and rushed to Timmy's aid.
