Read together

Once upon a time, there was a family of seven - Mum, Dad, Brother, Sister, Grandpa, Grandma, and a baby. One day, they decided to play a game of hide-and-seek. Grandpa was the seeker and everyone else had to hide. Grandma found a great hiding spot under the kitchen table, but when she tried to get in, she got stuck!
Brother was hiding in the closet and heard her giggles, so he went to help. But when he tried to pull her out, both of them got stuck!
Soon, the whole family was trying to free Grandma and Grandpa from under the kitchen table, but nobody could do it. Finally, the baby crawled over and started to tug on Grandpa's leg, and with one big yank, they were all free!
Everyone laughed and hugged each other, happy to be together again. From that day on, they always remembered the silly game of hide-and-seek and how even the littlest member of the family can save the day.
