"Obedience is the great test of life."

When Thomas S. Monson was a little boy, him and his friend wanted to make a fire. So they went to a grassy area to make a fire. There were lots of weeds so they decided to pull them out. They pulled a lot out but they still hadn't pulled enough out. They kept tugging and pulling with all their energy but they just couldn't pull them all out. So Thomas had an idea to burn the weeds so they could be done with them. So he went back home and took some matches. He lit the match and tossed it into the grass. Him and his friend only expected the fire to burn the grass they wanted burned and then it would stop, but they were wrong. The fire kept burning more and more so they decided to call for help. Their neighbors came out and started to put the fire out and they eventually did. The lesson Thomas learned was "Obedience is the great test of life."
