Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sarah. She loved to play with her toys and read her favorite book before bed every night.
One day, while playing dress up with her clothes, Sarah decided she wanted to be a mermaid. She put on her sparkly tail fin and swam around her room, pretending she was swimming in the ocean with the fish.
But when it was time for bed, Sarah realized she left her book in the living room. She swam out of her room and saw her toy fish swimming in the fishbowl on the coffee table.
As she reached for her book, the toy fish jumped out of the bowl and landed in her bed!
Sarah laughed and put the toy fish back in the bowl, then snuggled up with her book and fell asleep, dreaming of swimming with real fish in the ocean.

Reflections

1. What did Sarah want to be when she played dress up with her clothes?
2. How did Sarah get her book back?
3. What happened to the toy fish when Sarah reached for her book?
4. What did Sarah dream about before she fell asleep?
