Theo's older brother, Antonio, was learning carpentry, and over the past few months, he had transformed the shed into his carpentry workshop. Theo always looked up to Antonio and tried to be like him. He was fascinated by all the wonderful objects Antonio had carved from wood, and longed to try his hand at carpentry too. But every time he asked Antonio if he could operate one of his cool carpentry tools, Antonio's response was always the same.
"You're too young to use these tools, Theo. They might look fun to use, but trust me, they are not easy to operate."
That day, Antonio was building an intricate model of a house. He had been working on it for weeks, and the model was nearly complete. Suddenly, Antonio realized that he needed to run to the store to buy more nails. As soon as he left, Theo approached Antonio's work area and began to look around with glee. When his eyes fell on the power drill, which was still connected to the power socket, he smiled mischievously. He picked it up and switched it on, aiming it at a piece of wood lying on the table. But the drill was heavier than he imagined, and he could not hold on to it as it vibrated powerfully in his hand. Panicking, Theo dropped the drill and in his haste, he tripped over the wire on the floor. Losing balance, he went crashing into the table, knocking over Antonio's model house as he went down. It fell to the floor and broke into pieces. As Theo stared in shock at the mess he had created, Antonio came back into the shed. Theo immediately began to apologize.
"I too was curious and brash when I was your age, little brother. But experience has taught me to be more careful and responsible. When you're older, I'll teach you to operate these tools," Antonio said. Theo apologized again and helped his brother clean up the mess.
