Listening to the story of the Thomas as a kid really does impact the meaning of his quote. So the main summary is that his friend and him were going to have camp at the back of the house. They were told not to use matches. The two friends were ripping grass from the ground so they could camp out, until they decided to use matches to eliminate out the grass. They lighted the grass up on fire, and the fire quickly consumed the backyard, Everyone from the are worked for hours trying to stop the fire. This story made me thinking on how little disobedience can lead to a major catastrophe. Our parents, teacher, or guardians usually tell us not to do something. Its's not because they don't want us to have fun or for another reason, but because if we do disobey, a huge consequence could happen afterward. So next time you want to disobey your parent, just remember that are trying to protect you. If you disobey, they same scenario will happen as the what happened to Thomas,. Thomas learned that you should always be obedient, and he should have listened to his parents before tragedy happened.
