Drinking milk is one of the things many fathers and mothers wish to encourage and motivate their children to do, so they can grow properly, in addition to strengthening their immunity. Milk has numerous benefits and great advantages. Below we recount the most wonderful stories we can tell our little ones to motivate them to drink milk.
The Child and the Milk
Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved playing and having fun. He was quite mischievous, favoring playtime above all else. On the other hand, he always tormented his mother. Every day before going to school, he would tire her and trouble her greatly, refusing to drink the milk she gave him. Consequently, the mother was forced to make the child drink his cup of milk and not allow him to go to school unless he did so.
The child got very angry every time, but on one occasion, he thought about trying to escape drinking his cup of milk. He thought and thought until he reached a solution that satisfied him. The child returned from school and hurried to his mother, telling her that he had become a man of significance and was no longer small at all, so he would drink his cup of milk himself every day from then on.
His mother was overjoyed by what she heard from her son, expressing how happy she was with her boy, encouraging him greatly and telling him she was proud of him. On the following day, the mother came to give her son his cup of milk and left it, then went to prepare breakfast. The child, meanwhile, poured the milk into the bathroom sink.
The mother returned to her son, and as soon as she noticed the cup was empty, she rejoiced and was very pleased with her son, embracing him and praising him profusely. The child was very happy because he hadn’t drunk the milk that day, along with his immense joy that his mother hadn’t discovered his deception - that he hadn’t drunk the cup of milk to begin with.
The child went to school, and during gym class, he hurried to play with his school friends. Suddenly, while the children were playing, the child who hadn’t drunk milk fell and sustained a large, deep injury to his foot. Additionally, all his teeth broke on the spot. The school informed the mother of what had happened, and the child went with his mother to see the doctor and determine the appropriate treatment for his condition.
The doctor examined the child and said to him, “It seems you didn’t drink milk today. Your condition indicates not drinking milk, because if you had drunk milk, your body would be stronger, and your teeth too, so all this couldn’t have happened to you.” At this, the child could only acknowledge the error he had committed against himself and his mother. He immediately apologized to his mother, as this was the first time he had lied to her, promising never to lie to her again. He also promised his mother he would drink his cup of milk in the morning and evening until he recovered quickly and became stronger.
