Read together
Once upon a time, there were four friends named Shorten, Sort, Split, and Swap. They all lived in a magical kingdom where everything could be shortened, sorted, split, or swapped.
One day, they decided to go on an adventure to find the treasure of the kingdom. They traveled through forests, hills, and rivers, but they soon realized they were lost.
Shorten came up with an idea to shorten their journey by creating a shortcut. Sort helped by organizing the route and marking the landmarks. Split suggested splitting into two groups to cover more ground, and Swap offered to swap supplies with other travelers for directions.
Finally, after many trials and errors, they found the treasure and became the richest and most famous adventurers in the kingdom!
The end.
