In the story of ChaCha, a boy from Scottsdale, Arizona, we see his struggle with time management. His mother constantly struggles to get him up and ready for school on time, which causes her a great deal of stress. One day, ChaCha's mother visits his school and speaks with the principal about his time management issues. The principal suggests a plan where ChaCha's mother arrives 5 minutes late to the school field trip, which ChaCha had been eagerly awaiting. ChaCha's mother agrees to this plan.
The next day, ChaCha's mother arrives 5 minutes late to the field trip. This causes ChaCha to miss the bus, which leaves without him. ChaCha feels terrible and apologizes to his mother for the inconvenience. However, a few moments later, the school bus returns to pick him up, leaving ChaCha feeling relieved and grateful.
After the incident, ChaCha learns a lesson about the importance of managing his time and not causing trouble. He promises his mother that he will manage his time better and will not run in the hallways. ChaCha keeps his promise, and he never runs in the hallways again. If he sees anyone running, he stops them.
