Once upon a time, there was a group of friends who were all vegetables: Peas, Beans, Tomato, Onion, Potato, and Melon. They lived in a garden and loved to play together. One day, they decided to have a picnic. Each vegetable brought their favorite food to share.

Peas brought a big bowl of pea soup. Beans brought a platter of bean dip. Tomato brought juicy tomato slices. Onion brought onion rings. Potato brought mashed potatoes, and Melon brought a huge watermelon.

As they sat down to eat, they noticed that the food was all mixed up! They couldn't tell which dish belonged to whom. So, they came up with a silly solution. They started snacking on each others' food and pretending to be each other!

Peas ate the watermelon and said it was the sweetest pea soup ever. Beans took a bite of the mashed potatoes and said they tasted like the best bean dip. Tomato tried the onion rings and declared them to be the best tomatoes ever. And so on.

They all laughed and had so much fun, they decided to switch up their snacks every picnic. And from that day on, they were known as the Vegetable Impersonators.

The end.

Reflections

1. Can you name all the vegetables in the story?
2. Why did the vegetables start pretending to be each other?
3. What do you think each vegetable brought to the picnic?
4. Would you like to have a picnic with your friends and pretend to be someone else while eating?
5. Why do you think they started calling themselves the Vegetable Impersonators?
