Once upon a time, there was a pen named Penelope who loved to write stories. One day, while she was sitting on a chair, she noticed that her friend the eraser was feeling down. "What's wrong?" asked Penelope. The eraser replied, "I feel like I'm not useful anymore since everyone uses pencils now." Penelope had an idea and suggested they write a story together. They went to the table and grabbed a book. They wrote a silly story about a pencil who couldn't draw straight lines, and the eraser had to save the day by erasing all the mistakes. From that day on, the eraser was happy and proud to be part of their storytelling adventures!

Reflections

1. What was the eraser feeling before he wrote the story with Penelope?
2. How did the eraser feel after they wrote the story?
3. Can you think of other ways that someone can feel useful?
4. What was the name of the story the pen and eraser wrote together?
5. Why do you think the eraser felt down in the first place?
