Right now.” “MOM! DAD! WAKE UP!” “There was a burglar in our house!” ❤️ The story teaches an important lesson: Being brave does not mean trying to handle a dangerous situation alone. When something serious happens, safety is more important than avoiding punishment, hiding a mistake, or trying to prove that you can solve everything yourself. Max is afraid his parents will discover that he was secretly playing games after bedtime, so he delays asking for help and treats the burglar like another obstacle in a game. But the marbles, race car, LEGO, and other toys only create more noise and make the intruder suspicious. When Max finally admits that “This isn’t a game,” he understands that the right choice is to protect Amy, tell the truth, wake his parents, and let adults and the police handle the danger.
