Once upon a time, there was a table that loved to read books. One day, the table found a pencil and an eraser sitting on a chair. The table asked the pencil and eraser, "What are you guys up to?"

The pencil replied, "We're writing a story!"

The table was very excited and asked, "Can I help?"

The pencil and eraser both nodded and said, "Yes! We'd love your help."

So the three of them sat down at the table and began to write a story together. The pencil wrote the words, the eraser kept making corrections, and the table provided the ideas.

As they were writing, a pen suddenly appeared and said, "Hey, what's going on here?"

The table, pencil, and eraser all laughed and said, "We're writing a funny and creative story for kids!"

And so, the pen joined in on the fun and they all worked together to create a silly and imaginative story that kids everywhere would love.

The end.

Reflections

1. Who is the main character in the story?
2. Why did the table ask the pencil and eraser for help?
3. How did the pen get involved in the story?
4. What was the final outcome of the story?
5. What was the story about?
