Once upon a time, there were nine friends named NINE, TEN, ELEVEN, TWELVE, THIRTEEN, FOURTEEN, FIFTEEN, SIXTEEN.
They all lived in a small village. NINE was the youngest and SIXTEEN was the oldest. They all were very good friends and used to play together in the village.

One day, NINE, TEN, ELEVEN, TWELVE, THIRTEEN, FOURTEEN, FIFTEEN, and SIXTEEN decided to go on an adventure. They wanted to explore the nearby forest that they had never been to before.

They set off early in the morning, each of them carrying a backpack with snacks and water. As they walked deeper into the forest, they came across a beautiful stream. They decided to take a break and have lunch by the stream.

After lunch, they continued their journey and came across a clearing. In the center of the clearing stood a tall tree with a rope ladder hanging from one of its branches. NINE, TEN, ELEVEN, TWELVE, THIRTEEN, FOURTEEN, FIFTEEN, and SIXTEEN looked at each other in excitement. They decided to climb the tree and see what was at the top.

SIXTEEN, being the oldest, went first. He climbed the ladder and reached the top, where he found a beautiful view of the forest. The others followed and they all enjoyed the view together.

As the sun began to set, the friends knew it was time to head back home. They climbed down the tree, thanked it for the wonderful adventure, and headed back to the village.

The nine friends had a great day and promised to go on many more adventures together. They went back to their homes, tired but happy, and couldn't wait to share their story with the rest of the village.

The end.

1. What did the nine friends carry with them on their adventure?
2. What did the friends find at the top of the tall tree?
3. How did the friends feel at the end of their adventure?
