In a small village, there lived a boy named Juanito who never listened to his parents. He always did what he wanted, no matter the consequences. One day, his parents told him not to go into the forest alone, but Juanito didn't listen. He went into the forest, thinking he could have fun without anyone bothering him. As he walked, Juanito met a wolf. The wolf was big and fierce, and Juanito got very scared. He ran as fast as he could, but the wolf was faster. The wolf caught up to Juanito and trapped him between its teeth. Juanito screamed for help, but no one heard him. He was all alone in the forest, and the wolf was about to eat him. Suddenly, Juanito remembered his parents' words. They had told him never to go into the forest alone, and now he realized they were right. If he had listened, he wouldn't be in this dangerous situation. As the wolf approached for the final bite, Juanito closed his eyes and waited for the worst. But then, he heard a loud noise. It was the sound of an axe! Juanito opened his eyes and saw his father running toward him, swinging an axe. Juanito's father hit the wolf with the axe, and the wolf ran away howling in pain. Juanito was safe. His father hugged him tightly and told him never to disobey again. Juanito learned his lesson that day. He realized it was important to listen to his parents, because they only wanted to protect him. And from that day on, Juanito always listened to his parents, and never got into trouble again.
