Read together
Once upon a time, there was a man named Mr. Mix-and-Match who loved to wear all his clothes at once. One day, he put on a dress over his tracksuit, shorts over his trousers, a coat over his T-shirt, socks over his shoes, and a cardigan over his T-shirt. He looked like a colorful mess! But Mr. Mix-and-Match was so happy in his outfit that he decided to go for a walk. Everywhere he went, people stopped and stared, trying to figure out what was going on. Some even started to follow him, curious to see where he was headed. Finally, Mr. Mix-and-Match reached his destination: the park! There, he saw a group of kids playing and he joined in on the fun. By the end of the day, the kids had learned that it's okay to be different and have fun with your clothes. The End.
