Once upon a time, in a cozy little house by the greenest park, lived the Maple family.
There was Mom, Dad, big sister Lily, and little brother Max. Together, they were a great team.
Each had unique powers. Mom's hugs could heal any boo-boo, Dad's cooking would always make them smile.
Lily could read stories that transport you to magical lands, and Max could draw animals that seemed alive!
One day, a storm darkened the sky and the wind howled outside, scaring Max and his cat, Whiskers.
Mom hugged Max and whispered, 'Our family's love is stronger than any storm. We will be okay.'
Dad invited everyone to the kitchen. 'Let’s cook together! It will be a grand feast!'
Lily read aloud from her favorite fairy tale, weaving a tale that made them forget the raging storm.
Max drew a bright, sunny park with a rainbow above. 'Look, even after storms, beauty can grow,' he said.
They laughed, ate, and listened to Lily's stories until the storm outside became just a soft rain.
And when the sky cleared, they all went out to jump in the puddles, holding hands and splashing around.
That night, the Maple family snuggled up knowing that no matter what, their love was the strongest power.
