    In the vibrant classroom, Sophie, a 9-year-old girl, sat nervously. She had forgotten to do her homework the previous night and was scared of the consequences.

    Her teacher, Mrs. Robinson, was a stern woman who believed in discipline and hard work. She was known for her strictness and the children always tried to avoid her wrath.

    As Mrs. Robinson began checking the homework, Sophie's heart pounded. She knew she would have to face the music for her negligence.

    When her turn came, Sophie confessed she had not done her homework. Mrs. Robinson frowned and asked her to stand at her desk.

    Sophie stood up, her eyes welling up with tears. The classroom was silent and everyone watched as Mrs. Robinson addressed Sophie.

    "Sophie, you know the rules. Homework is not optional. It's time for you to learn your lesson," Mrs. Robinson said, her tone stern and unyielding.

    Sophie nodded, accepting her punishment. Mrs. Robinson asked her to write 'I will not forget my homework' on the chalkboard 10 times.

    Sophie picked up the chalk and started writing on the board. With each sentence, she felt the importance of responsibility and discipline.

    Once Sophie finished writing, she returned to her seat. She felt embarrassed but knew she had to face the consequences of her actions.

    "Remember, homework is a part of your responsibility as a student," Mrs. Robinson reminded the class.
