Once upon a time, in a world of fun
Where emotions ran wild and the day was never done
A little kid wandered through a house so grand
With furniture and rafters towering high, oh so grand!

The kid felt a wave of emotion wash over their face
Frantically looking for a place to escape the chase
But then a thought came, as bright as the sun
Maybe it's time to transform and allow the fun!

The kid took a deep breath and stood up tall
Feeling a rush of energy that would not fall
And with a sudden burst of excitement so new
They decided to try something they never knew

The kid opened their mouth and let out a sound
A swallow that echoed throughout the ground
And in that moment, a transformation began
The furniture and rafters danced with a joyful plan!

With each swallow that came out so clear
The room transformed into something quite dear
The furniture became a boat, sailing on the sea
The rafters turned into birds, flying wildly free!

And as the kid watched in wonder and awe
They realized that emotions are not something to withdraw
But rather something to embrace and explore
And through that, anything is possible, they learned to soar!

Reflections

Here are a few questions to ask kids to think about the story:

1. How did the kid feel at the beginning of the story and why?
2. What did the kid decide to do to transform their emotions?
3. What happened when the kid opened their mouth and swallowed?
4. What did the furniture and rafters transform into and what did the kid do with them?
5. What did the kid learn from their adventure?
