Muddy Max's Honest Adventure by Belinda M
Join Max, a curious young zebra, on a playful adventure that teaches him the importance of honesty when facing the consequences of his actions.
Max peered out his window and saw his friends having fun. He really wanted to join them, so he asked his mom if he could go play outside. His mom agreed, reminding him to come in when called for dinner. Max was eager to play but worried about what might happen if he got too muddy. He decided to go anyway, thinking that it couldn't be that big of a problem.
Max dashed out to the playground and started playing chase with his friends. They crawled like turtles and jumped into muddy puddles, giggling all the while. Max loved the squishy mud between his hooves. He was having so much fun, he forgot all about staying clean. Just then, his mom called him for dinner.
Max ran inside, his coat covered in mud. His mom looked at him with raised eyebrows. - You need to wash up before dinner, she said. Max sighed, feeling too lazy to take a bath. - Can't I just eat first? Max pleaded. His mom agreed but insisted he wash his hands at least.
While eating dinner, Max came up with a sneaky plan. After dinner, he went into the bathroom and ran the shower. Instead of bathing, he only wet his feet. - This is clever! Max thought, pleased with himself. He put on lotion to smell fresh and went to say goodnight to his mom.
As Max lay in bed, he started feeling itchy. He scratched his arms and legs, feeling more uncomfortable. - Mom, can you help me? Max called. His mom came in and saw him scratching. - Scratching won't help, Max. Germs love dirty skin, she explained.
Max felt worried about the germ city on his skin. - I don't want germs, he said, feeling regretful. His mom smiled gently. - Let's get you properly cleaned up, she suggested. Max nodded, realizing he should have been honest and bathed earlier.
His mom ran a warm, foamy bath for him. Max jumped in, enjoying the bubbles and the clean feeling. He scrubbed away all the mud and germs. - This feels so much better! Max exclaimed. He learned that being honest and clean was important.
Clean and refreshed, Max snuggled into bed. - Thank you, Mom, for helping me, Max said with a yawn. His mom kissed him goodnight, proud of his honesty. Max drifted off to sleep, feeling peaceful and happy. He knew he'd always remember the lesson of honesty.
