A story that teaches about discipline and responsibility

Jessie, a vivacious girl was grounded by her parents for staying out late. She was no longer allowed to go out alone and play with her friends. One day, her grandfather, suggested that her parents buy her a dog so that she might learn how to be more responsible, and find out why parents are strict.

Her parents got her a dog, which she named Lassie. Lassie was a handful, and engaged in many naughty antics; but regardless, Jessie still loved him so much. Finally, after a traumatising incidence, Jessie learnt the importance of discipline and the need to be more responsible. She learnt that, when parents discipline their children, they do it out of love; because, when you love something, you want to protect it.
