Ria was a smart and curious girl who loved popcorn more than anything! One sunny day, while cleaning her attic, she shouted, "Look what I've found! A popcorn machine!" It was old and dusty but had a shiny note on it that read: “Magic Popcorn Machine – Will give the tastiest popcorn ever… but only to the patient ones!” Ria's eyes sparkled with excitement! She rushed to the kitchen, added some corn, and pressed the glowing red button. POP! POP! But when she opened the lid, she cried, “Oh no! Chewy popcorn! What happened?”

Ria didn't give up. She remembered the note: “Only for the patient ones…” So, she tried again. This time, she closed the lid and counted slowly to 10. But still, she peeked inside too soon, and again she saw soggy popcorn. The third time, Ria took a deep breath, turned the knob, and said to herself, “I will wait. I’ll be patient this time.” She read a book, hummed a song, and let the machine do its magic. And after 3 minutes — POOF! — the lid flew open and out came… Golden, crispy, buttery popcorn! Ria took a bite and shouted, “Yummmmm! The note was right — the best popcorn is for the patient ones!” Now, whenever Ria wanted something, she would smile and say: “Good things take time… just like popcorn!”
