Once upon a time, there were four pieces of furniture. There was a pouf, a sectional, a settee, and a sofa. They all lived together in a cozy living room.
One day, the pouf wanted to play hide-and-seek. It asked the others if they would like to join. The sectional was too big, the settee was too long, and the sofa was too deep, but they all agreed to play.
The pouf counted to 10 while hiding its eyes, then went looking for the others. It found the sectional in the corner, the settee behind the curtains, and the sofa under a blanket, but it couldn’t find the last one.
Then, suddenly, a small stool popped out from under the coffee table and said, “Here I am!” The pouf was so happy to have found its friend and they all played together for the rest of the day.
From that day on, the four pieces of furniture were the best of friends and always played together whenever they had the chance.

Reflections

1. Which piece of furniture was the best at hide-and-seek?
2. Why did the pouf ask the others to play with it?
3. Why were the sectional, settee, and sofa unable to play hide-and-seek?
4. Who popped out from under the coffee table and said "Here I am"?
5. How did the furniture become friends after playing hide-and-seek?
