Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy who loved going to school. He had lots of friends and enjoyed learning new things. But there was one thing that bothered him every day - his teacher, Mrs. Grumpy. Mrs. Grumpy was always strict and never smiled. She would assign tons of homework and give Timmy extra math problems just to make him squirm. Timmy tried his best to be a good student, but Mrs. Grumpy always found something to scold him about. It seemed like she didn't like Timmy at all.

One day, Timmy couldn't take it anymore. He decided to talk to his mom about how he felt. His mom listened carefully and understood how much Timmy was struggling. She decided to have a meeting with Mrs. Grumpy to sort things out.

During the meeting, Timmy's mom explained to Mrs. Grumpy how her son felt sad and discouraged because of her strictness. Mrs. Grumpy was surprised to hear this because she didn't realize the impact of her actions. She promised to be more understanding and encourage Timmy in a positive way.

From that day forward, Mrs. Grumpy changed her ways and became a nicer teacher. She smiled more, praised Timmy's hard work, and even gave him an extra recess as a reward. Timmy was delighted and realized that sometimes people just need a little reminder to be kind. He learned that speaking up about how you feel can make a big difference.
