There once was a little girl named Sally. Sally loved Oreos. She loved to dip Oreos in milk. She loved to twist Oreos open and lick off the creme filling. She even loved to eat Oreos plain without twisting them or dunking them in milk.
One day, Sally and her mom were walking through the grocery store. Sally just happened to notice the Oreos as she passed the cookies in the cookie aisle. When she saw the Oreos, she ran over to them in excitement. She had found Oreos!
She ran back to her mom, who was busy looking at the grocery list, and she pointed to the Oreos and asked her mom, "Mom, can we get the Oreos?"
Her mom thought about it for a minute, then she turned to Sally and said, "No, Sally. We can't get Oreos today."
Sally looked really hard at the Oreos. She imagined how much fun it would have been to have dunked those Oreos in the milk. She imagined how much fun it would have been to twist those Oreos and lick off the creme filling. She even imagined how good those Oreos tasted. Oh, she loved Oreos so much. And as she was remembering how good the Oreos tasted, she also remembered the fifth commandment: "Honor thy father and thy mother."
She looked at the Oreos. Then she looked back at her mom. Then she looked back at the Oreos. Then she looked back at her mom and said, "Okay, mom." She obeyed her mom. They walked off to a different aisle to pick up the bread and head home.
