Once upon a time, there was a hat named Hatty who lived in a cozy cottage with a mat named Mattie. One day while Hatty and Mattie were having a nap, a curious rat named Ratty came along. Ratty wanted to explore the world and asked Hatty and Mattie to tag along.

Along the way, they met a fan named Fanny who was feeling hot. They offered to cool her down with a big gust of air from the fan. Just then, a bat named Batty flew by and joined the fun.

Next, they met a cat named Cathy who was lost. She asked for their help in finding her way home. Hatty suggested they use a map, so they all got out their maps and found Cathy's way back to her home.

However, on their way back, they stumbled upon a can, a pan and a van. The can and the pan started arguing about who was better, but the van suggested they all work together.

Finally, they met a man named Manny who was running late for an important meeting. He asked for a ride, but none of them had a car. That's when Ratty suggested they all hop into the van and give Manny a ride. With everyone working together, they made it to the meeting just in time.

The end.

Reflections

1. Who is Hatty and what does he do in the story?
2. What do Ratty, Mattie, and Hatty do when they meet Fanny the fan?
3. How do they help Cathy find her way home?
4. What do the can and the pan argue about?
5. Why did they all hop into the van and where did they go?
