    Ojo was a lively, curious boy, always full of energy. Today, he had returned home from school, and as soon as he opened the door, he felt a soft thud on his head.

    He looked down to find his mama's slipper lying at his feet. He looked up at his mama, and she had a stern look on her face. "Ojo," she began, "you've been very careless."

    Ojo was puzzled. He scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean, mama?" His mama pointed towards the gate he had left ajar. "See that, Ojo? You must learn to be responsible."

    Ojo gulped. He knew he was in trouble. "I'm sorry, mama," he mumbled. His mama nodded, "Apology accepted, but remember, actions speak louder than words, Ojo."

    From that day forward, Ojo made a conscious effort to be more responsible. He ensured he closed the gate each time he entered or left the house.

    A week passed, and Ojo was getting better at his responsibilities. His mama noticed this change and decided to test Ojo further. She left a basket of laundry by the door.

    Ojo returned from school to find the basket. He saw it, walked past it, and then stopped. He remembered his mama's words and turned back. He took the basket inside.

    Mama was watching from the window. She was happy to see Ojo learning. She thought of a reward that would help Ojo understand the importance of being responsible.

    The next day, Ojo came home to a surprise. His mama gave him a small puppy. Ojo was overjoyed, but his mama said, "This is a responsibility, Ojo."

    Ojo promised to take care of the puppy. He fed it, played with it, and even cleaned up after it. The puppy became his best friend.

    One day, Ojo forgot to close the gate, and the puppy ran out. Ojo was terrified. He ran out, calling for the puppy and found it playing in the street.

    He picked up the puppy and hugged it tight. He realized that his carelessness could have led to a disaster. He apologized to the puppy and promised to be more careful.

    When he returned home, his mama was waiting. She didn't say anything, but Ojo knew what she was thinking. He looked at her and said, "I learned my lesson, mama."

    Ojo's mama smiled and hugged him. She was proud of her son for understanding his responsibilities. She knew Ojo had truly learned a valuable lesson.

    From that day on, Ojo became even more responsible. He took care of his puppy, helped his mama around the house, and never forgot to close the gate again.
