Once upon a time, there was a magical land where numbers lived. One day, Seven, Five, Three, Six, Four, Nine, Eight, One, and Two decided to go on an adventure. They wanted to explore the world and have some fun.
Along the way, they came across a river and couldn't figure out how to cross it. Suddenly, Seven had an idea. "Let's each make a wish, and jump into the river! If we all believe in our wish, it will come true." So, they each made a wish, closed their eyes, and jumped into the river.
To their surprise, when they opened their eyes, they were on the other side of the river! They were so happy, they started to dance and sing. "One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine!" they shouted, as they twirled and twittered.
And that's how Seven, Five, Three, Six, Four, Nine, Eight, One, and Two became the greatest wish-granting numbers in the land, and lived happily ever after!

Reflections

1. What do you think the numbers wished for?
2. Why do you think they became the greatest wish-granting numbers?
3. Can you make a wish before jumping into a river?
4. How did the numbers feel when they found themselves on the other side of the river?
