The kitchen was calm in the morning as Mimi sat with her glass of milk. Birds chirped outside the window.
Suddenly, her hand bumped the glass.
Splash! Milk spilled across the table.
Mimi froze. “Oh no,” she whispered.
She felt worried. “Mama will be upset.”
For a moment, she just stared.
Then she took a breath. “I can fix this.”
She brought a cloth and started wiping slowly.
Some milk dripped to the floor. She cleaned that too.
Mama walked in and saw her.
“You are cleaning it yourself,” Mama said gently.
Mimi nodded. “It was my mistake.”
Mama smiled. “That’s responsible.”
Mimi felt calm again.
💡 Moral of the story is: Fixing mistakes is better than hiding them.
