Once upon a time, there was a sofa who lived in a house with all its furniture friends, like the carpet, window, armchair, TV, table, picture, chair and lamp. One day, the lamp had an idea to play a prank on the sofa. So when the sofa dozed off, the lamp dimmed itself and the other furniture joined in pretending to be asleep as well. The sofa woke up confused and thought it was the middle of the night. So it sneaked around the room trying to find something to do and stumbled upon the TV remote. It turned on the TV and started watching its favorite show until suddenly, all the other furniture jumped up and shouted "SURPRISE!" The sofa was so startled it fell right off the couch! From then on, they all had a good laugh and vowed to always have each other's backs. The end.

Reflections

1. How did the sofa feel when it woke up and thought it was the middle of the night?
2. What happened when the sofa found the TV remote?
3. Why did the other furniture pretend to be asleep?
4. What did the sofa learn from this experience?
5. How would you describe the relationship between the sofa and the other furniture?
