    There once was a little boy named Timmy who couldn't sleep because of a green, wiggly booger stuck on the wall above his bed.

    Fear gnawed at him as he thought about the booger falling onto his head in the middle of the night.

    Maybe he should call the police, he thought. But he quickly shook his head. They had better things to deal with.

    Then he wondered about calling the fire department. But no, they wouldn't come out for a booger.

    His next thought was to ring up his dad, but the fear of his dad getting angry stopped him.

    Timmy was stuck in a dilemma. He had a big problem and no one to call for help.

    He suddenly remembered his mom. Would she help him? She was always gentle and understanding.

    Despite his late-night worries, he decided to knock on his mom's door.

    As he approached her room, he felt his heart beating fast. He was scared, but he needed help.

    He knocked softly, and when she opened the door, he saw the warm and caring look in her eyes.

    He told her about the booger on his wall. She listened carefully without interrupting him.

    Timmy's mom didn't get angry, or laugh. Instead, she held his hand and led him back to his room.

    She didn't seemed repulsed by the booger. "It's not pretty, but it can't hurt you," she said.

    Timmy felt relieved. He saw his mom's confident smile. She could handle it, he thought.

    She took a tissue paper from his desk and reached up to the booger.

    With a swift motion, she wiped it away. The wall was clean, and his fear was gone.

    "See? All safe now, sweetie," she said, hugging him tightly.

    She tucked him back into bed and kissed his forehead. The bed felt warm and safe now.

    Timmy watched as his mom left the room, and he could finally sleep in peace.

    That night, Timmy learned that no problem is too small to ask for help.

    And he also discovered that his mom is not just a mom but also his hero.

    From that day on, Timmy felt he could conquer any obstacle, no matter how big or small.

    And he was no longer afraid of boogers, not even the wiggliest ones.

    Most importantly, he knew he was never alone, because his mom would always be there to help him.

    So, the next time he saw a booger on his wall, he knew exactly what to do.

    He would remember this adventure and face it bravely. After all, every problem is a chance to learn something new.

    And that's how the booger adventure of Timmy ended, leaving behind a brave little boy and his loving mom.
