Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved playing games, reading magazines and talking on his cell phone but he never did his chores. One day, his teacher told him that if he wanted to do well in school, he needed to focus on his responsibilities. So Timmy decided to take care of his chores.

First, he watered the plants, then drank some water and started reading a textbook. But Timmy was too bored to study for long, so he decided to play a game. His teacher caught him and scolded him for not focusing on his work. Timmy realized his mistake and decided to take his responsibilities seriously.

Next, he fed the fish, wrote on the board and talked to his teacher. Timmy was doing so well that his teacher asked him to write an essay on responsibility. Timmy was thrilled, he had never written an essay before.

Finally, Timmy finished his chores and went for a walk in the park. He thought about what he had learned that day, and he realized that being responsible was fun. From that day on, Timmy stopped procrastinating and became one of the best students in his class!
