    Once upon a time, in a cozy little hole in the ground, lived two little mice with their mother. They had everything they needed - warmth, food, and protection from rain and cold. But they were never quite content, especially at bedtime, which always seemed too early to them.

    One day, the two little mice went for a walk before dinner to see their friends. They lost track of time and wandered farther from home than they usually did. By the time they realized it was late, none of their friends were around.

    They had strayed so far from home that they were unsure if they could find their way back. The darkness of the night and the eerie silence scared them. They huddled together for warmth and comfort.

    Suddenly, they heard a noise in the silent night. Was it the rustle of leaves in the wind? Or was it a big, scary cat stalking them? The uncertainty heightened their fear.

    To their relief, it was their mother who had been searching for them all night. She hugged them tight, happy to have found them safe.

    From that day on, the little mice never complained about going to bed early. They realized how comforting their home was, protected by their mother and her loving care.

    They found joy in the warmth of their bed. They understood that disobeying their mother could lead to unpleasant consequences.

    They learned that they had ample time during the day to enjoy with their friends and indulge in all the things they found amusing.

    They cherished the little things like the bright sunlight and the morning breeze. They realized that they didn't need to stay out late to enjoy such pleasures.

    They understood that staying at home was not boring. In fact, it was the best place in the world for them.

    They realized that they had everything they needed at home - warmth, safety, food, and above all, the love and care of their mother.
