Once upon a time, there was a magical room filled with furniture. The room had a bookcase, bookshelf, buffet, bureau, cabinet, chest, credenza, and sideboard. Each piece of furniture had its own unique story to tell.

One day, the bookcase spoke up and said, "I've been filled with so many books, I can hardly hold them all!"

The bookshelf chimed in, "I know how you feel! I've got even more books stacked on me!"

The buffet spoke next, "I may not hold books, but I hold delicious food for all the feasts in this room!"

The bureau added, "And I hold all the secrets and important papers."

The cabinet declared, "I might be small, but I hold all the precious items that can't be kept anywhere else."

The chest offered, "I hold all the treasure and keep it safe."

The credenza stated, "I hold all the fancy dishes and serveware for special occasions."

Finally, the sideboard spoke up, "I may be the newest addition to this room, but I hold all the drinks and snacks for everyone to enjoy."

All the furniture worked together to make the room a magical place, full of stories, food, secrets, treasure, and fun. And they all lived happily ever after.

3. If you could add any piece of furniture to the Magic Room, what would it be and why?
4. Can you think of a story that each piece of furniture might have to tell?
5. Which piece of furniture would you like to be and why?
