Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a group of objects. They all lived together in a big room, each doing their own thing.

One day, the TV stand, who was always in charge, called a meeting. He told the others that they were going to play a game of hide and seek. The TV stand would be the seeker and the rest had to hide.

The plug, who was very excited about the game, quickly found a spot to hide. He squeezed himself into the socket of the air-conditioner and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

The photo frame, who was always a little bit vain, decided to hide behind her own picture. She thought that the TV stand would never look for her there.

The tea pot, who was always full of hot ideas, decided to hide inside the water dispenser. She figured that if the TV stand opened the dispenser, he would only see water and not her.

The key, who was always a bit insecure, decided to hide on the hook. He thought that the TV stand would never think of looking for him there.

The vase, who was very elegant and graceful, decided to hide behind the curtains. She thought that the TV stand would never think of looking for her there.

The TV stand started counting and the objects all closed their eyes, waiting for the TV stand to come and find them. But when the TV stand opened the door to the room, he was in for a big surprise!

The plug, who was still in the socket of the air-conditioner, was now flickering and flashing with excitement. The photo frame, who was still behind her own picture, was now laughing and giggling. The tea pot, who was still inside the water dispenser, was now steaming and bubbling with excitement. The key, who was still on the hook, was now jingling with excitement. And the vase, who was still behind the curtains, was now swaying and dancing with excitement.

The TV stand was so surprised that he started to laugh too. And from that day on, the objects in the room always played hide and seek and had lots of fun together. The end.
