Once upon a time, there were ten friends who loved to play together. One day, they decided to go on a adventure to find the most beautiful treasure in the land. They set out on their journey, counting as they went.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" they shouted as they walked through the forest.

They came across a river and used a boat to cross it. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" they counted as they rowed across.

On the other side of the river, they found a cave. They went inside and saw a treasure chest. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" they counted as they opened the chest and found the most beautiful treasure they had ever seen.

They were so happy and excited that they counted all the way back home. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" they shouted as they told everyone about their adventure and showed off their treasure.

From that day on, the friends went on many more adventures together, always counting as they went. And they lived happily ever after.

Reflections

1. Why did the ten friends go on an adventure?
2. How did they cross the river?
3. What did they find in the cave?
4. Why did they count during their journey and what did they count?
