Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Timmy. Timmy was known for his manners and how polite he was. One day, Timmy went to a fancy restaurant with his family. As they sat down to eat, Timmy watched as the other diners slurped their soup and grabbed their food with their hands. Timmy didn't want to be rude, so he took a sip of his drink and wiped his mouth with a napkin. The other diners noticed Timmy's good manners and started to follow his lead. From that day on, the restaurant was filled with polite diners who all learned from Timmy. The end.
