2. INTRODUCTION
This story is aims to teach kids of proper discipline and show
obedience to parents. We should learn how to respect and give
priority to each other.
In this story, there are 2 parents, 2 visitors and 999 super naughty
children. What will happen as the kids had gone too far and what will
they learn about their behavior?

3. DEDICATION
We dedicate this to parents and
teachers who are having a hard
time disciplining their children /
students. We also dedicate this to
children like us and teachers.

4. There was one big, big family. A Mom and a Dad and 999
children living in big, big house. The kids were Pepe, Popo,
Nana, Leon, Franko, Doug, Lala and so on and so forth.

5. One day, “Kids, tomorrow is Saturday and
we will have some visitors to visit us so you
should better behave well or else.’’, Mom
said seriously talking to no one as the kids
escaped and ignored their parents. ‘’Oh
boy’’, said Dad.

6. Then the kids went back into playing and made a lot of noises that your
ears are going to bleed.

7. The parents had
no idea of what
to do. “ I know
what we’re
going to do
honey, let’s hit
ourselves with a
frying pan to
wake up from
our dream’’, Dad
said jokingly.

8. Then they did and got their heads wacked off.
They had the whole day fainted until they woke up
the next day.
“OH NO! Mr. and Ms. Harrison will come to visit
them. What are they going to do?!” DING DONG! They
opened the door and welcomed Mr. and Ms. Harrison.
“Hey there Mr. and Ms. Harrison! It’s nice to meet
you! Welcome to our lovely home!’’ As their parents
greeted, the kids played and played and made and
made noises. ‘’It doesn’t seem like a lovely home to
us.’’, Mr. Harrison said showing some annoyance. ‘’
Let me introduce you two to our kids’’, Mom said.

9. It lasted for like 2 hours way longer than a movie.
‘’Hey there mister.’’, Leon said to Mr. Harrison. ‘’Do you
want basketball or volleyball. ‘’Umm, basketball!’’, Mr.
Harrison replied. ‘’Then volleyball it is, with a TWIST!
Only one is the opponent and you are the one. It’s 999 vs
1. HA! You’re outnumbered by 998. GET HIM!’’ Each kid
has their own volleyball and hit poor Mr. Harrison by how
you serve the ball.

10. ‘’Um, Ms. Harrison, could you please taste these dish I cooked just for
you?’’ said Lala with such innocence. ‘’Uhh, of course sweetheart’’, Ms.
Harrison replied.
‘’This is my special fried chicken.’’ Ms. Harrison took a bite and tasted
bad. ‘’Umm, what kind of chicken is this darling?’’, Ms. Harrison replied.
‘’Oh, it’s just a dead rat I found.’’ Ms. Harrison was disgusted trying to
take out the food from her tongue and taste buds.

11. WHAT ELSE
COULD GO
WRONG?!

12. These kids served as the
adult’s nightmare s. The kids
played and played filling the
visitors with torture. Mr. and
Ms. Harrison ran as fast as
they can leaving the house.

13. When they left,
‘’Now look what you
kids had done! Now
go back to your
rooms and think of
what you’ve done.’’,
Dad has never been
so filled with rage
than ever.
! !

14. For the first time, the kids were scared of
them and went to their rooms. They had a
meeting and huddled together. ‘’Maybe we
shouldn’t have been that naughty at all.’’ ,
said Pepe. The others agreed. They planned
to apologize to their parents for embarrassing
them they did. They asked for Mr. and Ms.
Harrison’s address.

15. WE’RE
SORRY.
They went to their
house with their
parents on their big,
big van and apologize.
Mr. and Ms. Harrison
have forgiven them
and had some funtime
peacefully.
Now that feels so good
for their parents.
