Little Bella was feeling bold today. With energy bubbling in her tiny body, she jumped from one chair to another, pulled clothes off the drying line, and even tried to steal a snack from Mom’s basket. Her mischief was nonstop!
At first, Mom just gave her gentle looks and small sounds to calm her down. But Bella was on a roll. She giggled and kept going, not realizing she was pushing her luck.
Then came the last straw—Bella climbed onto the edge of the water basin and splashed it everywhere! Water soaked the floor, her fur, and even Mom’s clean laundry. That’s when Mom froze, turned around slowly, and gave Bella the look.
Bella stopped in her tracks. Uh-oh.
Mom walked over, stood in front of her, and made a loud warning sound. Her face was serious. No more fun and games.
Bella’s ears drooped. She sat down slowly, eyes wide and lips trembling. She didn’t expect such a strong reaction. Mom wasn’t mad—she was just serious. This was a moment Bella had to learn: not everything is a game, and some rules matter.
Mom gently tapped Bella’s hand and pointed to the mess. Then, with calm but firm gestures, she made it clear—no more trouble.
Bella lowered her head, quietly chirped, and reached out to hug Mom. She understood. And just like that, the warning was over, but the lesson stayed.
