Think Before Acting - Free Write

In this free write, I'm going to write a story about a boy and his impulsive behaviour which took him to a life-threatening situation.

Once there was a boy, his name was Eric. He was known for his impetuous behaviour. Most of the time he would act without thinking and fall into trouble. One day, he was walking in the forest, he saw a large snake, and without even thinking he ran to catch it.

But an old man was standing there and he was watching all this, he in a hurry called Eric and shook his head to stop him from doing that.
Eric stopped and ask him why he stopped him, the old man told him that, catching a big snake might get him in trouble. The snake was dangerous and could cause him great harm.

He advised Eric to think before acting and to consider the consequences of his actions.

After that incident, Eric took the old man's words to heart and start acting very carefully.
