Once upon a time, there was a group of friends who loved to do different things. They would sing, paint, cook, write, read, dance, draw, and bake together. One day they decided to have a contest to see who was the best at each activity.
First up was singing and the winner was the friend who could sing the loudest and longest. Next was painting and the winner was the friend who could paint the most colorful picture. Cooking was next and the winner was the friend who could make the tastiest dish. Writing was up next and the winner was the friend who could write the funniest story. Reading was next and the winner was the friend who could read the longest book in one sitting. Dancing was up next and the winner was the friend who could dance the longest without stopping. Drawing was next and the winner was the friend who could draw the most realistic picture. Finally, it was time for baking and the winner was the friend who could bake the biggest cake.
At the end of the day, they all agreed that they were all winners because they had so much fun doing what they loved. And that is what matters the most, having fun and enjoying life!
