Once upon a time, there was a van named Van. Van loved to go on adventures and explore new places. One day, Van decided to go on a road trip with his friends, Ran the rabbit, Pan the penguin, and Map the monkey.

As they set off on their journey, Van realized that he had forgotten to pack a cap for everyone to wear in the sun. So, they made a quick stop at a store to buy caps for everyone.

After a few hours of driving, they were getting tired and decided to take a nap. Ran curled up under a tree, Pan snuggled up in a cozy blanket, Map found a comfortable branch to sleep on, and Van set up a soft pad for them to rest on.

As they were napping, they dreamt of all the wonderful places they would visit on their trip. When they woke up, they were refreshed and ready to continue their journey.

As they were driving, they saw a sign for a beautiful park and decided to stop and explore. They had a great time playing and having a picnic.

As the day came to an end, they realized that they had forgotten to call Van's dad to let him know that they were safe. So, they quickly called him to let him know that they were having a great time on their adventure.

That night, they set up camp and made a fire to roast marshmallows. They told stories and laughed until they fell asleep, dreaming of the exciting places they would explore the next day.

The end.

Reflections

1. Why did Van and his friends make a quick stop at the store on their road trip?
2. How did each of the characters (Van, Ran, Pan, Map) find a place to rest while they were on their road trip?
3. Why did Van and his friends call Van's dad at the end of the day?
