Once upon a time, there was a group of mice who loved to play games. They had a favorite game called "Roll the Dice." One day, they went to the market to buy some rice and they saw a sign that said "Price Reduced! Rice now only 50 cents a slice!" The mice were so excited, they decided to buy twice as much rice as they normally did. But, when they got home, they realized they only had enough money to buy half of what they wanted. They were upset until they realized they could make the rice last longer by slicing it into smaller pieces. Finally, they had a nice meal and continued playing their game, grateful for the good deal they found.

Reflections

1. How did the mice feel about buying twice as much rice?
2. Why were the mice grateful for the good deal they found?
3. What did the mice do to make their rice last longer?
4. Was the story a happy ending? Why or why not?
