Esther takes Mummy's sweets
Esther is a good girl. She has many friends from school and around home.
When Esther goes to play with friends, she picks Mummy's sweets and gives to friends. She picks the sweets when Mummy does not know.
Mummy sees the sweets are few but keeps quiet. Esther's friends come home while shouting: "Esther give us more sweets". That is when Mummy knows that Esther takes her sweets.
At night Mummy and Daddy call Esther. They ask Esther why she takes the sweets without requesting. Esther says that she is sorry.
Daddy and Mummy tell Esther never again to pick anything without permission. But Esther was encouraged to share with friends the things that she has been given. Esther is now a good girl. She does not pick Mummy's sweets. Mummy and Daddy love Esther.
