Read together

Once upon a time, there was a group of sports balls who wanted to play all the games in the world. One day, they came across a table tennis paddle who offered to help them learn new games.

First, they learned baseball and hit home runs. Then, they practiced basketball and slam dunked. They also played badminton and tennis, but found it hard to hold the racquet with their round shapes.

Finally, they tried football and hockey, but were too bouncy for those games. So, they stuck to table tennis and had lots of fun playing ping pong. The end.

Talk about it
