Read together

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Max who lived in a small village. One day, Max did something wrong and his mother scolded him for it. Max didn't understand why he was in trouble and started to slump down in shame.
His mother explained to him that he needed to accept responsibility for his actions and not blame others. She told him that the final punishment for his mistake would be for him to fess up to what he had done and apologize.
Max learned an important lesson that day about accepting responsibility and owning up to his mistakes. From then on, he made sure to always explain himself and take responsibility for his actions. The end.
