Here's a story:

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Emily who loved to read novels. One day, while she was at the barber shop getting her hair cut, she overheard a man talking about how he was going on vacation to a faraway land. Emily became so envious that she decided she wanted to go on vacation too.

So, she went to the department store and bought a new backpack and then headed to the post office to mail a letter to her best friend, asking if she wanted to go backpacking with her.

When she got home, she realized she needed some good books for the trip, so she went to the library to borrow some. On her way back, she passed by a video rental store and decided to rent a DVD for the trip.

And that's how Emily went on a great adventure with her best friend, reading novels and watching movies while backpacking through beautiful scenery.

The end!
