Read together
Once upon a time there was a girl named Sarah who loved to play pretend. She would act out all sorts of scenes, being a drama queen and making everyone laugh with her funny antics.
One day, she was playing with her friends and accidentally spilled her drink all over the floor. She took a deep breath and started to sob. Her friends tried to comfort her but she stomped her foot and declared she didn't want to play anymore.
Just then, a fairy appeared and granted her a magical power - the ability to control her emotions. Sarah learned to not let little spills or mishaps ruin her fun. She realized that being a drama queen wasn't so important, and it was much more enjoyable to just be herself and have a good time with her friends.
The end.
