    Once upon a time, in a bustling town lived an 11-year-old boy named Timmy. He was known for his selfish ways and his disregard for others. He always put himself first, even above his loving parents.

    Timmy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, were kind-hearted people. They loved Timmy unconditionally, but they were deeply saddened by his selfish behavior.

    Timmy's selfishness wasn't limited to his family; it extended to his friends too. At school, he would often take his friends' lunch or refuse to share his toys.

    Over time, his friends became unhappy with his behavior. They started distancing themselves from Timmy, who didn't understand what was happening.

    One day, Timmy noticed he was alone during lunch. He looked around, and all his friends were sitting together, laughing and sharing their food. He felt a pang of loneliness.
