Once upon a time, there was a book who loved to read all day long. But one day, the book saw a ball rolling by and decided to join in on the fun. The book asked the ball to play catch, but the ball said "I can only roll, I don't have arms to catch".
So, the book had an idea. It put on a hat and shoes and wrapped itself in a blanket. Then, it transformed into a teddy bear and said "Now we can play catch!" They had a great time playing together, and from that day on, the book and ball were best friends. The end.
