Tantrum

There once was a little girl, who wanted everything in the world. There was nothing that she saw that she did not want at all. She wanted the moon and the stars and the sun. She wanted the buildings each and every one. She wanted to sing and dance and play even when it was time to stay. When she did not get everything her way, she would scream and cry and say, “I am the princess, I am the one! You must do as I say. I won’t quit until I’ve won!” Finally the day came around when her mother put her foot down. “I can’t take anymore! You may scream and kick on the floor. I no longer will give in to your each and every whim!” The little girl cried, the little girl screamed. She threw such an awful fit, but she finally gave up and quit, and do you know the funniest part? She could not even remember the start. What was it that she did not get? What could possibly have made her fret? It must not have been important at all since she could not recall, so she jumped up with a bound. Enough rolling on the ground! She then went on her way and began again to play as if nothing had happened at all. Her mother watched for a while and then she silently smiled. She had learned her lesson too, soon the tantrum is through. A princess does not always have to get her way to be happy in her play. She might tantrum for a bit but soon she will quit, and everything will be ok!
