Read together
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Emily. She loved to play outside with her toys, especially her ship, ball, doll, car, bell, box, kite, and drum.
One sunny day, Emily decided to take her ship to the park to play. She packed her ball, doll, car, bell, box, kite, and drum into the ship and set sail. As she sailed across the playground, she rang the bell to let everyone know she was coming.
When she reached the park, she saw that it was empty. She was disappointed at first, but then she had an idea. She got out her kite and began to fly it high in the sky. The kite soared higher and higher, and soon, other children saw it and came to the park to play.
Emily and the other children played with her ball, cars, and dolls and took turns flying the kite. They also took turns playing the drum, and it was a lot of fun. They played for hours and had a great time together.
As the sun began to set, Emily packed up her ship, ball, doll, car, bell, box, kite, and drum. She thanked the other children for playing with her and set sail for home.
As she sailed away, she rang the bell one last time, and the other children waved goodbye. Emily went to bed that night with a smile on her face, knowing that she had made some new friends and had a great day at the park.
