Read together

Once upon a time, there was a talented puppeteer who traveled from region to region performing for young audiences. He always carried his trusty puppet show kit, which included a special cellophane stage.
One day, while putting on a show, the puppeteer realized that the audience wasn't paying attention. In a bold gesture, he decided to step out from behind the cellophane stage and interact with the kids directly.
The children were amazed and delighted by this new approach. From then on, the puppeteer's shows were even more popular as he used gestures and movements to bring his puppets to life.
And so, the lesson learned is that sometimes a little creative thinking can make all the difference.
