Once upon a time, there were many shapes that lived in a magical land. They all wanted to join together to make something new and beautiful. The circle, square, and rectangle shapes decided to work together. The circle shape said, "Let's join our edges and make a wavy pattern." The square shape said, "I think we should join straight and make a checkerboard pattern."

The rectangle shape had an idea, "What if we join half of our sides and make a zigzag pattern?" They tried the rectangle's idea and it was perfect! All the shapes were happy with the new creation and decided to live together forever. And that is how the many shapes joined to make something new and beautiful.
