    The sun was shining brightly through the window, illuminating John's face as he slept. It was Sunday morning, and he was eager for the day that was starting. After a family breakfast, Mr. Silva called John over for a talk.

    "Son," he said in a soft voice, "we're going to church today. It's important for you to be there to learn about God and hear His teachings." John, who would rather play with his friends in the park, made a face. "But Dad, I want to play!" he protested.

    Mr. Silva smiled and said, "I know you'd rather play, but going to church is also important. There, you will learn to be a good boy and follow God's teachings." John wasn't convinced, but he knew it was important to obey his father.

    He got dressed and went with his family to the church. During the sermon, John paid attention and learned about the importance of obeying one's parents. He heard stories of children who obeyed their parents and were rewarded by God.

    After the sermon, John sat quietly, reflecting on what he had heard. He thought about the importance of obedience and how it could make him a better person. He decided to try to be more obedient to his parents.
