Once upon a time, there was a book, a pencil, a pen, a bag, an eraser, a sharpener, and a pencil case. They all lived together in a school bag. One day, the pencil said, "I'm tired of always being used for writing. I want to have some fun." So, he suggested they all play a game of hide and seek. The pen was chosen to be "it." While the pen was counting, the others decided to play a joke on him. They all hid in the pencil case. When the pen finished counting and opened the pencil case to look for them, he was surprised to find that they had all disappeared. Suddenly, the eraser shouted, "Peekaboo!" and popped out of the pencil case, followed by the rest of the gang. The pen couldn't stop laughing and from that day on, they all had more fun together. The end.

Reflections

1. How did the pencil feel at the beginning of the story?
2. What game did the school supplies play?
3. Who was "it" in the game of hide and seek?
4. Where did the school supplies hide?
5. How did the pen react when he found the others hiding in the pencil case?
