Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tim. Tim loved to play with his toys and make a mess. One day, his teacher asked him to clean up his room. Tim didn't want to, but he knew he had to do it. So, he started to clean up, but he found that he was having fun. He decided to add some fun to the cleaning process by writing silly words on the walls and painting them with bright colors. When his teacher saw his room, she was surprised at how clean and creative it was. She asked Tim to read his silly words aloud, and the whole class laughed. From then on, Tim knew that cleaning could be fun, and he always added a little creativity to everything he did.
