Once upon a time, there was a group of clothing items that lived in a closet together. The coat was the leader, always bossing everyone around. The shirt and the scarf were best friends and loved to play pranks on the suit and tie, who were always so serious.
One day, the jeans and jacket decided to play a trick on the others and switched places. The coat had no idea and put on the jacket thinking it was his usual coat. When he looked in the mirror he couldn't stop laughing at himself!
The belt, who was always trying too hard to be cool, suggested they all switch outfits for the day. So the coat put on the skirt, the suit wore the jeans, and the shirt tied the scarf around his waist like a belt.
They all looked silly, but they had so much fun and learned to not take themselves so seriously. Even the socks got in on the fun by pretending to be suspenders. They all lived happily ever after, wearing each other’s clothes and having a good chuckle every now and then.

Reflections

1. How do the different clothing items feel about each other at the beginning of the story?
2. What happens when the jeans and jacket switch places?
3. Why did the belt suggest they all switch outfits?
4. How do the clothing items feel at the end of the story?
5. Can you think of a similar situation in real life where things got mixed up and it turned out to be fun?
