Read together
Once upon a time, there was a pig named Penelope who loved to write and draw. She had a big table in her room, a comfortable chair, and all the writing tools she needed: a pencil, a pen, and an eraser.
One day, as she was busy writing in her book, she realized she had lost her pen cap. She looked everywhere, but it was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, she heard a giggle and saw that one of her friends, a mischievous monkey, was holding the cap and playing with it.
Penelope asked the monkey to give her back her cap, but the monkey refused and said, "I'm keeping this as a reward for being the best prankster in the jungle!" Penelope didn't want to argue, so she got creative. She took her eraser and started erasing parts of the monkey's tail, making him look like a pencil. The monkey laughed at first, but then he realized that everyone was pointing and giggling at him. He ran back to Penelope, begging her to erase his tail back to normal.
Penelope agreed, but only if he returned her pen cap. The monkey quickly handed over the cap and watched as Penelope used her eraser to make his tail whole again. From that day on, the monkey learned to never mess with a writer and an artist!
