Read together
Once upon a time, there was a man named Tim. Tim was known for his terrible manners when he ate. One day, Tim was invited to a fancy dinner party. When he sat down to eat, he noticed everyone was using a napkin to wipe their mouth. Tim thought this was silly, so he decided to just slurp and grab his food with his hands.
But as Tim started to take a sip of his drink, he heard a loud slurping sound. The other guests were so embarrassed for him! Tim realized the importance of manners and asked the hostess for a napkin. From that day on, Tim made sure to wipe his mouth properly and use his napkin whenever he ate. The end.
