📜 Story: Camping Adventure
This weekend, we go camping in the forest. The air is fresh, and the trees are tall and green.
First, we set up a big, cozy tent ⛺️. It’s blue and has space for all of us to sleep. We use long poles and ropes to make sure it stands tall and safe.
After the tent is ready, we collect wood and make a warm, crackling fire. The flames dance and make the night glow. We sit around the fire and feel warm and happy.
We cook yummy food over the fire. We make sandwiches, toast marshmallows 🍡, and drink hot chocolate. The sweet marshmallows melt in our mouths, and we laugh and talk together.
As the sun sets, the sky turns orange and pink. We start telling funny and spooky stories. One story makes us all laugh so hard, we almost fall over!
When it gets dark, we look up at the sky. The stars twinkle like little lights, and the moon shines brightly. It is so beautiful and peaceful.
We snuggle into our sleeping bags inside the tent. The night is quiet except for the sound of crickets and the gentle rustling of leaves.
We fall asleep feeling happy and safe. Camping is fun, and we can’t wait to do it again!
