Read together
Once upon a time, there were 9 numbers, One to Nine, who lived in a math kingdom. One day, Five, Nine, Three, Four, Six, Eight, One, Seven, and Two decided to play hide and seek.
Five hid behind a tree and Nine climbed up a mountain. Three squeezed into a small hole, Four disguised as a rock, Six buried himself in the sand, Eight swam in the lake, One disguised as a bird and Seven transformed into a flower.
Two was finding it difficult to find his friends and was getting worried. Suddenly, he heard a voice, "Two, look up!" It was One, disguised as a bird, flying above him. Two looked around for the others and finally found them all.
They all laughed and enjoyed their game of hide and seek, but from that day on, they made a promise to never forget each other's hiding spots. The end.
