Once upon a time, there were two best friends named Sarah and Tom. They loved to play and explore the world around them. One day, they decided to count all the things they could see.

Sarah saw two birds flying in the sky. Tom saw three flowers growing by the river. They continued counting, seeing four butterflies, five trees, six squirrels, seven stones, eight clouds, and finally, nine stars shining bright in the night sky.

The friends were so happy that they had found so many things to count and enjoy. They went to bed that night with big smiles on their faces, dreaming about all the adventures they would have tomorrow.

The end.

Reflections

1. What did Sarah and Tom see when they were exploring?
2. How many things did they count in total?
3. What did they feel at the end of the day?
4. Can you think of other things they might have seen on their adventure?
5. What do you think they dreamed about that night?
