THE BOY WHO DIDN’T LISTEN

There was once a boy who did not like wearing shoes. He liked running around barefoot and did not understand why his mother made such a fuss about wearing shoes.

One day he told his mother that he was going to play in the garden. His mother reminded him about his shoes but he did not listen.

He was playing happily in the garden when he suddenly pricked his foot on a thorn. He began to cry loudly. His mother came out to see what happened. He pointed to his foot and cried, “I got poked by a thorn.” “Why didn’t you listen to me and wear your shoes?” asked his mother, carrying him into the house.

She placed him on the table and checked his foot. She saw the thorn and carefully pulled it out. She then applied some medicine to his foot and he went back to play. This time he made sure he wore his shoes before going outside to play. Can you guess the boy’s name?
